ABOUT ME

I come from a rich and diverse cultural background, with an Argentinian mother and a Dutch father. This blend of cultures has played a major role in shaping who I am. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by the traditions, languages, and customs of both sides of my heritage.

Growing up with the influence of two distinct yet equally passionate cultures has instilled in me a profound appreciation for my roots. One common thread that united both sides of my heritage was soccer. In Argentina and the Netherlands, soccer transcends being just a sport; it is ingrained in the national identity, a source of pride, and a way of life.

Watching soccer matches became a beloved tradition in my household. Whether we were marveling at Messi's magic or cheering on the Dutch team, it was a shared experience that brought us together. However, when the two teams faced off in World Cup tournaments, tensions ran high. My parents, each loyal to their own home team, had to watch the games in separate locations to avoid conflict. Despite the friendly rivalry, the love for the game and the bond it created within our family remained unwavering.

Water polo has been a defining force in my life, teaching me discipline, resilience, and the power of teamwork. Starting at age eight, I dedicated myself to the sport, pushing through challenges to compete at an elite level—earning accolades like CIF Co-Player of the Year and multiple Junior Olympics national championships.

Beyond the pool, I cherish skiing with my family and caring for rescue animals, including my dog, Luna. Driven by ambition and family support, I aim to excel in sales and marketing while growing my entrepreneurial ventures, always striving to be a role model through hard work and perseverance.

Water polo has played a significant role in shaping my life. I began my journey in the sport at the age of 8, and from that moment on, I was captivated by its challenges and rewards. The dedication and perseverance required to excel in water polo have driven me to constantly push myself to new heights, both in sports and in life. My ultimate aspiration has always been to compete at the highest collegiate level, a dream that continues to fuel my passion for the game.

The early morning practices, intense workouts with my trainer, and mental fortitude needed to overcome obstacles are all part of the daily grind that I willingly embrace. While I may not have been the best player when I first started, the guidance of exceptional coaches and the support of dedicated teammates propelled me towards improvement. My club teams achieved remarkable success, clinching the Junior Olympics national championships five times across four different age groups. Through unwavering determination and hard work, I eventually earned recognition as the CIF Co-player of the Year and Orange County Water Polo Player of the Year during my senior year.

Despite my deep involvement in water polo, I also make time for another passion of mine—snow skiing. Bonding with my brother and father, who instilled in me a love for skiing, is a cherished pastime that I eagerly anticipate each winter season. Skiing not only provides a great workout but also offers a chance to create lasting memories with loved ones. The shared experiences of navigating through fresh powder, cheering each other on as we tackle difficult terrain, and celebrating our victories at the end of the day are moments that I treasure deeply.

Skiing allows me to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, immersing myself in the beauty of nature and the exhilaration of pushing my limits on the mountain. It is a form of relaxation and rejuvenation for both my body and mind, providing a sense of freedom and joy that is unmatched by any other activity.

An avid animal lover, I have devoted nearly a decade to caring for our rescue dog, Luna. Volunteering at the local dog shelter and taking dogs for walks bring immense joy, even if the less glamorous task of cleaning up after them is less appealing.

Motivated by a deep sense of love and resilience, I am committed to achieving my goals and making a positive impact in all aspects of my life. There are many factors that drive me to succeed, but the most crucial one is the unwavering love and support I receive from my family. My ultimate aspiration in life is to achieve great success and serve as a positive role model for my future family. This determination fuels my efforts to excel in all aspects of my life, whether it be in water polo or my career. I am committed to working tirelessly to reach my goals and will not hesitate to put in the necessary effort to make my dreams a reality.

Looking ahead, my post-collegiate aspirations include pursuing a career in sales and marketing while continuing to generate passive income through my online business and investments in the financial markets. I plan to leverage my education and skills in sales and marketing to excel in a corporate setting, potentially working my way up to a leadership role.

Simultaneously, I will dedicate time and resources to growing my online business, exploring new opportunities for passive income streams. Additionally, I aim to further expand my knowledge of the financial markets and make strategic investments that will contribute to my long-term financial success. By balancing these pursuits, I hope to achieve both professional fulfillment and financial stability in the years ahead.
