What makes you most excited about joining Weatherhead?

I am mostly excited about the opportunity to enhance and create a project that has the support of the school and the opportunity to work with world class faculty.  

What do you look forward to exploring in Cleveland?

The outdoors, restaurants, downtown, sports, the lake!

Share something that interests you!

I love hiking, exploring new places, and cooking the foods I love (mostly Spanish having lived in Spain for many years). I enjoy listening to podcasts and doing puzzles and have particularly gotten into reading Scandinavian crime novels (Jo Nesbo, etc.). Historical fiction is top of my list as well. I have a deep passion for watching my favorite sport: fútbol (big F.C. Barcelona fan).
