Bio

I am Colombian living in South Africa. I am a Spanish teacher, translator, researcher, writer & artist creative of my project "Artist Souls PD”. Kizomba Soul Secrets & Latin-American dances teacher.

Through my own life experience, I strengthened my self-confidence and empowerment through the arts way while appreciating every difference in culture and societies wherever I am. I believe in a common space of non-judgment, positive thinking and wellness and the possibility to become change-makers through the heritage and culture exchange of the arts. I am a former humanitarian worker as well.
