2. BACKGROUND

R E P U B L I C - W I T H A T W I S T .
Both of my grandfathers were born in different locations: one
in Villagarcia de Arosa, Spain, and the other in Palestine.
These distinct backgrounds have fueled my curiosity and
awareness, making me appreciate the nuances of different
traditions, languages, and customs. My upbringing has not
only instilled a sense of pride in my family's roots but has also
ignited a passion for embracing and understanding the
richness of the global tapestry of human experiences.
I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic in a family of
five. During my childhood, my parents went through a
divorce, which altered our way of living for a while -
economically and personally. This experience not only shaped
my character but also provided me with valuable lessons in
resilience and strength. As our family navigated the
challenges brought about by the divorce, I learned to
confront adversity with a determined spirit. Witnessing my
parents' resilience during this period instilled in me a deep
sense of perseverance and a belief in overcoming obstacles.
Also, it fostered a sense of empathy towards others facing
difficult circumstances, as I recognized the nature of human
struggles.

I have always been inclined to embark on new adventures and embrace an active lifestyle. For as long as I
can recall, exercise and sports have been important parts of my daily routine. Among these pursuits,
running stands out as a cherished hobby, a passion that I hold close to my heart. It transcends the realm
of mere physical activity; it serves as my sanctuary—a therapeutic escape from the noise of the world.

4. When it comes to expressing my creativity, I have various outlets, with my favorites being visual creation
and writing. Putting my creativity to the test always brings me joy, as it serves as a reminder of the
remarkable capabilities inherent in every individual. It underscores how one can effectively communicate
emotions or messages to others through the medium of personal art.

6. INSPIRATIONS
Fortunately, I am surrounded by individuals worthy
of admiration, with my mother being the foremost
example. In my eyes, my mom embodies
everything that is right in the world. She has
imparted countless lessons, but above all, she has
shown me how to gracefully navigate the
challenges that life presents, becoming stronger
and better. Perhaps the highest praise I receive is
when people liken my mentality to hers. She is not
only charming, smart, and tenacious but also the
epitome of the best mother in the whole world.
Taylor Swift is also a woman who holds a place of
admiration in my life – as a person,
businesswoman, and artist. She is a force in the
music industry, achieving success solely through
her own merit. One of her most astonishing
accomplishments, contributing to her status as a
global phenomenon, is her resilience in the face of
a significant setback – the loss of rights to her own
music, a body of work she painstakingly crafted
over two decades. Despite having her lifelong
efforts taken away, she courageously fought for
herself and her creations.

7. GOALS & AMBITIONS

happiness. We pursue them in that order, but
their importance is reverse.”
