Bio
Juntos Podemos

I saw this phrase in a rural school I volunteered at in Costa Rica last year. It translates to "together we can". This phrase showed me that regardless of age, location, gender or economic status, we can create change.

Every experience has an impact. I've always loved traveling and through my travel experiences, I have developed a passion for gender equality and children's rights.
