A Bit About Me
I am a first-generation Latina raised in the urban capital of the Dominican Republic, later became a NYC local, studying Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University. A two-time class valedictorian with vast curiosity and thirst for knowledge. I love to experience new cultures and cuisines, perform latin dances, sing my heart out in karaoke and tinker. I'm glad you made it to my portfolio! Welcome and enjoy your stay :)
