Hardworking and passionate college education seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry-level in Physics, Astronomy or Astrophysics position in bachelor environment.

I like photography because by portraying what I see in pictures it immortalizes not only the moment, but the feelings, the scent, the weather and everything that composes a photo into a whole experience. Consequently I really like to take pictures of the mountains, as well as the sunsets and the moon that can be seen from my house. On the other hand, I like to take pictures of my friends and myself when feeling good and happy so that we can remember how we used to be and feel at the moment, so that one day we can look back at it and feel the same as we did before.

I have always been interested in all the ways that our bodies can express themselves, whether they are dancing, singing or acting. In my case, I have always been lured towards acting, since in that way I could experience different feelings, circumstances, memories through another "person" eyes. When the pandemic started, some Colombian actors created a course to develop our vocal management and the creation and interpretation of characters. I never had the opportunity to participate in anything like that, despite my interests, but in the time that I was in the course I experienced and grew a lot from what I knew. My experience was very fulfilling, it was incredible to become someone else, to create each memory, each feeling and each goal that a character would have. I was submerged in the live of another person, and by the end of the course I had acted three monologues and two movie scenes. Finally, I would be interested in continue this activity, since I am very good at it and it helps me to relieve myself from some pressure and anxiety that I may have.
