I am 17 years old and a senior here at NSA! This is my fifth year here. I am a Club Coordinator for Stuco this year! I have two brothers, one older, and one younger. I enjoy participating in my church’s choir, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I also love the beach!

Well, I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with my parents, younger brother, and dog. My older brother just left for college in the US this year! This is my third year at NSA, I’m a junior here. I started High School here, and before this I used to go to an international (in-person), Christian school here in Argentina that followed the US curriculum. I switched to NorthStar because I’m a competitive tennis player here in Argentina. This means I spend several hours a day (at least 4) training, and also compete around the country. NSA provided me with the ability to be able to compete and train and still have a very good quality education. In terms of hobbies, besides playing tennis, I love reading, baking, cooking, and spending time with friends! I also love watching any and all kinds of sports (especially Formula 1, I’m a huge ferrari fan!), and recently started playing golf on weekends, which has been fun!
