I was born and raised in Venezuela; my entire family is from Madeira, a small island in Europe, Portugal. I grew up with both cultures, mainly Portuguese; my family taught me Portuguese, and I have always known two languages. I feel very proud of both of my cultures and love them equally; my connection to both is solid. However, I identify myself as Venezuelan.

As time passed, I lost fluency in speaking Portuguese, especially since I learned English, which has become my second language; that being said, I have kept my pride in belonging to that culture. It will always be important to me because it is my family's culture, and many of my beliefs and traditions come from it.

Since I was a little kid, I knew I wanted to go into the medical field. Helping people is one of my biggest passions. Progressively, I have identified empathy as one of my strengths, which is an excellent quality in the field.

I started my healthcare path almost a year ago; I am a CNA in the mother/baby department, and, yes, the job takes a lot from you physically and mentally, but when I am in the hospital, I feel that I belong and I am simply happy. Having the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life, be the support when needed, or the mom change her clothes or walk to the bathroom is a reward to me.

Every thank you and smile from the parents makes it worth every hour I spend in the hospital. My goal is to become a nurse, ultimately a nurse practitioner, and continue in the field that I have always dreamed of.

Reading books is one of the best choices I've made. It has helped me connect with myself and know me more.

I found this hobby at a moment in my life when I felt lost; it has improved me in many ways, especially in my English since it is my second language; this personal identity has made me connect with more people and, more importantly, know myself more and feel excitement towards something.

I love going to libraries and buying new books; even If I have 15 in my TBR, the feeling of purchasing a new book is like no other..

I love music in general; there are so many good artists and great voices; that being said, listening to music in Spanish makes me happy. I genuinely enjoy the music; it makes me feel more connected with my Latin American culture and first language; there will always be a song for any emotion I feel. I genuinely enjoy reggaeton; my favorite artist is Bad Bunny; despite the choice of words in the songs, it always puts me in a good mood.

I love traveling and trying new food, especially coffee shops; I love coffee. Many things make me feel I enjoy life, and those are some of them. I love hiking, swimming, and doing picnics with family and friends but also by myself; when I do them alone, I feel more connected with myself, and I like to use that time to read a book or write down any thoughts going through my mind. I love to go to views and watch sunsets; it generates a feeling of freedom.
