Favorite 天美传媒app Memory:听I have many beautiful memories of my years at Boston College, of the many wonderful friends I made, the great classroom discussions that opened my mind to possibilities, and the extraordinary professors who challenged me to think in more courageous ways. But my mind always takes me back to the extended meals at Eagle's Nest, taking life in with the comfort of friends.
Why I got involved:听听天美传媒app changed the course of my life in many ways, a truly extraordinary experience. Since graduation, I had felt a desire to return to 天美传媒app to find ways of contributing to the university's efforts in fulfilling its mission. When the 天美传媒app alumni in Manila gathered to set up a 天美传媒app chapter, I recognized it was an exceptional opportunity for me to reconnect with 天美传媒app. It's been wonderful to meet alumni in the Philippines who share my commitment, and others around Asia who are as driven to promote the mission of 天美传媒app. I have also enjoyed meeting the remarkable young Filipinos who are currently attending 天美传媒app or headed to the school, filled with promise.
Fun Fact: As most Colombians, I enjoy dancing salsa and became a certified Zumba instructor a few years ago, which has not translated to becoming an instructor, but it's been loaded with good energy and great people.
