I grew up in Puerto Rico in the same house my mom grew up in. My family lived by the coast, so my favorite place quickly became the beach, and I always wondered what was beyond the waves crashing at my feet.  Fascinated by the world, I've analyzed and explored anything and everything, and I still do. My curiosity tangled together with my sense of adventure has guided me to my passion, to explore. I've taken a summer abroad in Spain to study editorial fashion and photography, I went to a sailing camp in Norway, I've hiked parts of the White Mountains of Maine and New Hampshire, I've gotten my Scuba Diving Open Water Certification, and more. Now, I'm living in NYC studying Journalism and Anthropology at NYU hoping to use my abilities to focus on the unheard and adventurous stories.
