About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the suburbs of New Jersey and my parents are from Ecuador. I love meeting new people! I live in Oakland, CA and work as a UX Designer at GE Digital. I have an associate's degree in media a bachelor's in communication, and a master's in information, human-computer interaction from the University of Michigan.

I love music! I have been playing piano over 20 years. I learned guitar on my own and now have been playing for a while. I took only a month of classes for Saxophone and I have played with a small orchestra. I used to also play the cello.

Traveling!!! If I could only do that my entire life! I greatly enjoy exploring new places. Not only take the tourist route but a new one created on the go. When I traveled to Morocco, all I had was clothes and a plane ticket. No maps, directions, or numbers. What an adventure that was! Also, on of the best parts of traveling is meeting new people.

I like the outdoors. I grew up 20 miles away from NYC and did not have much outdoor recreation but living in Arkansas has made me really enjoy nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Every person has an incredible story.
