My Background
Personal Profile
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I moved to the United States when I was 17 years old and on my second year of university. The decision to come along with two of my sisters was caused by the devastating effects of hurricane Maria.
​
Being raised in such a, not for lack of redundancy, culturally rich island filled me with great pride and joy. Puerto Ricans are known world-wide for our creative spirit and humourous character, and these are traits I believe I model myself.
​
With a background in psychology and masters in marketing, I aspire to be in a role where my critical thinking is challenged and my creativity nurtured.
