I was born in "La tierra del sol amada" (Maracaibo, Venezuela). I was raised in Caracas and also lived in Maturín, a small city in the eastern plains. When I moved to the United States I landed in The City of Brotherly Love (Philadelphia) where I have been most of my adult life. I have also lived in Boston and Washington, D.C. I'm fluent in Spanish and English and know some Italian. I am the oldest daughter of an opinionated journalist and a former medical student turned into a clinical psychologist. I also have a younger sister who is a very creative graphic designer. I am hoping my next projects will be to master the Italian language, learn more about photography, and, if my life is long enough, learn about so many other things from languages and video production to cooking classes and antiques appreciation
