Bio
University student studying Law and Legal English-Spanish translation. I like to try to get into people's heads to understand them and see the world through their eyes.
I'm passionate about
Getting to know cultures, lifestyles, gestures and words I'm not familiar with. Linking those cultures to others, especially mine, to open people's minds and help them explore a vaster world
An idea worth spreading
We may walk different paths, but we share the same journey. People are different in their own ways, but united in their humanity.
It's useless to try to hide our kindness and humanity towards other human beings. It's useless to try to hide our fear and uncertainty of living life. We all share the same emotions, the same experiences but in different fonts.
Areas of expertise
Environment, Legal, Lifestyle, Videogames
The TED story
I discovered TED at a very young age and enjoyed listening to people's stories. Since we can't experience everything in life, we can learn from the experiences of others. Later, I had the opportunity to give a presentation at my high school. More recently, thanks to a university professor, I discovered the work behind foreign videos—transcription, subtitling, and translation.
Things you might not know
I never forget dates, that's why I had always passed my History exams (and never miss people's birthdays). I'm a volleyball girl whose team is currently on the highest position at their championship.
My biggest satisfaction is hearing that the food I cook is good (which is usual).
