Bio

I was born in San Jose, Costa Rica, in a bicultural family. On the volcanic slopes of the Irazu, my mother—a Costa Rican attorney—and father—a Swiss and French agricultural engineer—met. Soon after my birth, we moved to Ecuador and then to Guatemala and Uruguay. I was three when we arrived in Chile, where I spent most of my childhood until I was nine years old. Once again, we moved, this time to Mexico City, where we lived for 8 years. My parents wanted a consistent curriculum in my school years, and that is why I attended the French School. The only thing that changed was the place, my teachers, and my classmates. Finally, we moved to Costa Rica, where I finished high school and started my bachelor's degree at the University of Costa Rica in civil engineering. You could say that my early life was a constant move, and even if it was not an easy thing to do (leaving friends, and working to make new ones), I learned how to be resilient and how to adapt to new environments.
