About Me

I was born in Bogotá, Colombia and moved to Miami, Florida at a young age. I graduated with a BA in political science from Northwestern University and spent some time working in Washington, D.C. before moving to New York City to start at Columbia.

In my spare time I enjoy books and movies. Puzzles also keep me entertained: see blog or click here to be on my NYT Mini Crossword leaderboard.

To stay active I love to hike and boulder. A few of my favorite hikes include the John Muir Trail in California—which I completed before starting graduate school—and the W trek in the Patagonia. I'm pictured below at the summit of South Sister in Oregon which was another highlight.

I also love to play and watch (and read about and analyze) football (soccer): my Argentine father made me a die hard fan of the Albiceleste. On December 18, 2022, a dream of mine came true: I watched Argentina become world champions with my family.
