I am a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Bachelor's in Visual Studies with a concentration in Architecture Practice and Technology. I also had a double minor in Architecture and Italian Studies, as well as received a certificate in Portuguese. While in college, I tutored Italian for college students of all levels including some professionals that wanted to use Italian in the workplace. I also spent a summer in Rio de Janeiro working for an education-consulting firm that specialized in SAT and College Prep for Brazilian students that want to study in the United States. Outside of academia, I enjoy traveling and meeting new people all over the world. Through the University of Pennsylvania, I was able to travel to Italy, Croatia, Spain, Egypt, Brazil, Switzerland, and back to Colombia were I am from. Because of my love of traveling, I love languages and teaching languages. I find that the best way to learn a language is by speaking, so I try to hold short conversations in the language I am teaching at least once per session.
