Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hey Everyone!
I am a freshman and hope to pursue a double major in Courses 3 and 5 (Materials Science Engineering and Chemistry). I graduated from Duluth High School in Georgia.
I'm originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. While not a native from India, I have been dancing since I was about 7 years old. I come from a family of dancers. Both my sisters and I went to dance schools, and my mother was a dance teacher. I have experience in many Latin dances and traditional folkloric Mexican dance.
Currently I am part of MIT Mirchi, our school's co-ed competitive Bollywood dance team.
At MIT, I am very involved in various disciplines, including research on the Separation of Carbon Nanotubes in one of the Chemical Engineering labs, being part of the MIT Pistol Team, and Gymnastics.
I am very excited to teach all of you! Hopefully it will be lots of fun and not too exhausting. Get ready to dance!!!
