I’m an enthusiast of teenage education and a positive person who enjoys guiding them through the complex and exciting phase of adolescence. I am an admirer of their creativity, flexibility and spontaneity, and enjoy nudging them to think for themselves and making smart and well-thought decisions.
I like playing soccer and racquetball, riding my bike, singing and playing guitar, hiking and taking road trips, reading, playing board games and spending time with my family and friends.
I love my beautiful hometown: eating salteñas, fricasé and api con pastel, going to the market and talking to the caseritas, watching The Strongest at the Hernando Siles, buying all sorts of miniatures at the Alasitas, seeing mountains wherever I look.
