FUN FACTS:

I was born in Washington D.C. My parents are both Bolivian and I am the youngest of three siblings. I am an ACS Calvert graduate from Class of ‘97. I have two children, Vanina who is 18 and Catalina who is 15. I also have two dogs named Tomas and Teodora.

My hobbies include running and reading. My favorite city is Rome, Italy (I lived there for 3 years). I enjoy watching movies, cooking pasta and going to the beach. I love to talk about politics and global economy since I studied Political Economics in Rome. My favorite meal is “spaghetti all’amatriciana!”
