About
I was born and raised in Chicago where I attended LaSalle Language Academy and began learning Spanish in Kindergarten. I continued to study Spanish at Lincoln Park High School where I also entered their rigorous International Baccalaureate program.
Throughout all of high school I was an advanced apprentice in the Darkroom Photography program at After School Matters and eventually became intern instructor after 2 years.
