My Background

Born and raised in Costa Rica where I lived untill I was 16. Halfway through my Junior year I moved to Slovakia with my family. After completing my highschool education I moved on to earn an undergraduate degree from Loyola University Chicago (LUC). My international background has given me a diverse cultural perspective and a strong ability for adaptability. These experiences have shaped who I am and enriched my life in countless ways.

My Interests

They are many and diverse. I love watching and playing sports, in particular football (soccer). I also carry a passion for history, reading, as well as getting outdoors for skiing or a walk. In my leftover free time I enjoy discovering new music, going to concerts, and the occasional video game.

Where I'm At Right Now

I recently completed my B.S. in Software Engineering, having spent an amazing four years at Loyola University of Chicago (LUC). I now am looking to become part of a team as a SWEN and contribute in any way needed.

What I've Done So Far

While still quite young, I have been able to get a couple years of experience under my belt through various positions. This list is just getting started and I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow!
