Born in Perú

2009 - 2014 Studied at Utah Valley University, UT
 

I have lived most of my life in the United States. My Mom is half German and my dad is half French, both are half Latin. I feel truly enriched by my cultural diversity. When I was 5 years old I was literally a hand full with a high IQ. As a pre-schooler I would run out from school to the streets because I wanted to know the people and what they did. I wanted independence. My favorites things when I was a child were Legos so I can build things, swimming and reading. Today another favorite is languages and creating Art.

I speak 6 languages. Chinese, French, Spanish, ASL, Portuguese and English. I love people and I am excellent at: construction, sports, graphic-arts, art - history and cooking, learning new things, teaching them and mastering them is fun. At Utah Valley University, I am studying Spanish Language with a minor in Digital Media, and also have studied Chinese and ASL. After graduating I plan to save the world by serving my community and going abroad to teach people of developing countries how to learn skills to make money and become independent. Knowledge is Independence, Independence is freedom, and freedom is priceless!
