Fun Fact

I'm a German-Spanish Social Entrepreneur, NGO Founding Member, and first-generation college student. I was raised in the hospitality industry, which led to me having lived in four continents, eleven countries, speaking four languages fluently, and understanding seven.

Passion

I am actively working on reducing the gender gap within STEM through my work with MakerGirl Foundation. There I am the volunteering Director of the Harvard & MIT MakerGirl Academy, where we host 3D Printing workshops for young girls (ages 7-12) aiming to spark their interest in STEM.
