About me

I recently graduated from Clark University as a double major in Political Science and History. Over the past six months, my career has taken a direction towards public health and the public sector in general. I also decided to continue my studies through a Masters in Public Administration Program at Clark.

On a personal level, I am passionate about soccer. Boca Juniors has been my team since I was four years old. I also enjoy playing and listening to different music genres. I find much comfort in reading as well; my favorite authors are Fyodor Dostoevsky and Albert Camus.

I have a personal interest and connection to Latin America, especially South America. While I was born and raised in Peru, I had the opportunity to live in Brazil and Paraguay between 2006 and 2013. During my time as an Undergraduate, I interned for two summers at a non-profit in Peru. My intention is to return to Peru in the future and work in the public sector or through an international organization.

Taking this into a 21st-century scenario, the founders of the Tiendas Tambo    have adapted the original definition into a chain of convenience stores like 7-11 , currently running in Lima, Peru. Just to provide you with a little context , convenience stores in Lima have kept a traditional, old-school vibe.  It is common for families and individuals to go to the small corner store in the block and buy some daily products. At the same time, big and medium-sized supermarkets have grown and made their way into the market, especially in the past 20 years. This enduring change in the supermarket industry in Lima, Peru, and in other South Ameri

A Controversial 2018 Start For Social Media

Ah…2018. A new year for social media. New posts, new tweets, new videos, new pictures, new comments. The truth is, this year has started with a controversial, Black Mirroresque bang for us social media users. On January 1st, 2018, while we were saying goodbye to 2017 and welcoming 365 new days, Youtube User Logan Paul posted a video on Youtube that will forever be remembered as "one of those moments" in social media and most likely history. I am not here to comment on the content of the video, provide Logan's life story, or tell you about how disgusted I was when I learned about it. However, the difference in approaches and ways in which social media users responded to the video should be brought to our attention. On one hand, and perhaps the most surprising, several users across social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram spoke in defense of Logan Paul, noting that people make mistakes and that the intentions behind the video were misinterp
