CURRENT MISSION

Trying to fix the Spanish and US economies through education

ABOUT ME

I'm from the SF Bay Area which will always have my heart.
Although I definitely have a soft spot for LA.

I am studying Educational Psychology at USC which is apparently a highly useful degree.

Because of the research I've been doing in education I now know way more about the US and Spain's economies than I should. I am now engrossed in the European Unions economic situation and am curious to see what's going to happen with Greece.
I am also not surprised that US played a role in Greece's economic downfall, thanks Goldman Sachs way to make us Americans look even MORE greedy. Jerks

I hate taking pictures and would much rather be behind the camera than in front of it.

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up which is both extremely exciting and frustrating.

PHILOSOPHY

Love is so short...Forgetting so long
-Pablo Neruda

I always get what I want...eventually and I avoid exploiting others in the process.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I saved someone from drowning and Im not a good swimmer

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I need to learn Spanish and Portuguese, like fluently.

I have learned that good credit will take you far in the US, so maintain it, especially during a recession.

I also learned that long distance relationships are possible as long as they are only long distance for a finite amount of time and become regular relationships eventually.

I can show you some of the best/cheapest bars/clubs in California and Colorado :)
