From an early age, I have been serving my communities. While growing up in Bogotá, I devoted part of my weekends to teaching underprivileged communities to read and write.
When I moved to the Washington Metropolitan Area, I participated in “El Festival Latino” wearing one of Colombian’s typical attires, and later became one of founders and Vice-President of Casa de Colombia in Washington, D.C.
I became an Assistant Teacher for the Spanish Catholic Center After School Program and also undertook the Sunday Adult Program teaching English as a Second Language.
I volunteered for the Organization of American States, Martha’s Table, and Georgetown University Hospital serving the local community in different roles.
I served on the Board of Directors of the American Adoption Agency, and the Bryn Mawr and The Towers Condominiums.
