Summary
I was born in Geneva, Switzerland and lived there for six years before moving to the U.S and I grew up in a Hispanic household as my parents are Mexican. Since then, I've developed an affinity for developing my communication skills in different languages and have had the pleasure to serve as a mentor for students and a guide for determined athletes. Throughout my years of high school, I have developed a strong interest in neuroscience and psychology, as well as learning about new cultures.
