I was born and raised in Venezuela but left when I was a teen. So far, I have lived in 4 different countries, and the U.S. became me and my family's permanent residence 9 years ago. I graduated college with honors (Summa Cumm Laude) in Northern Minnesota and I have been working as a digital editor and translator ever since. I have many hobbies, but the one that fills my heart the most is traveling with my dogs and the people I love.

“After my adoptive parents left me, I bounced from couch to couch with friends and ultimately ended up homeless, where I became the victim of sex trafficking. Life felt completely hopeless, but I persevered.”
“Can you pinpoint a time when the true leader within you was born? I can. It was 7 years ago yesterday.”
“I gracefully superman-dove off the tippy top of a 2-story house. I should have died. By some beautiful miracle, I didn’t.”
