Brief Biographical Sketch:
I was born and raised in Mexico City by academic parents who then moved to California to pursue further studies before returning to Mexico City and finally deciding to settle in Texas. I have always been surrounded by an international community and have developed a keen interest in multiculturalism and the way in which people perceive their own and other's cultures. I am currently working towards a major in Economics with a minor in French with aspirations of world domination, traveling and finding the best Italian espresso. In my spare time I enjoy drinking coffee, hunting for book bargains and BBC period dramas.
