Description

Hola!

Hi there! I'm a Colombian lawyer currently based in Madrid, completing a Master's in Governance and Human Rights as a Carolina Foundation scholar. But beyond my legal background, I'm a creative, active, and highly resourceful soul. Growing up in Pasto, surrounded by nature, shaped my love for the outdoors. I swim, ride my bike, and hike. I also love drawing and painting (I even studied a semester of Graphic Design before Law school). Being the eldest sibling by 10 and 12 years taught me early on how to care for others, share, and lead with empathy. I'm a mix of professional organization, creative energy, and a practical hands on attitude, always excited to learn, help around the house, and connect deeply with new cultures. I also deeply love animals, I have a senior dog named Nacho that I miss every day, and I've had the chance to share my life with three cats and two more dogs. They've all taught me a lot about patience, responsibility and unconditional love.

More details about your skills

Childcare and Family Support
I have solid experience looking after children. Back in university, I spent a year babysitting a 4-year-old, and later two siblings (ages 3 and 7). Also, as the oldest sister, I've been caring for, playing with, and guiding children since I was young.

Animal Care
Throughout my life I've cared for dogs and cats with full responsibility, from daily walks and feeding routines to keeping them company and managing their emotional needs. I cared for Bruno, a street rescue, Max, a husky, and my current senior dog Nacho, as well as three cats, Orión, Simón and Felina. I'm attentive, patient, and genuinely attuned to animals. While I'm not a professional trainer, I know how to handle pets with care, read their moods, and make them feel safe and loved.

Photography, Social Media & Design
I have a great eye for photography, content creation, and digital design. In fact, I used to run my own waffle business where I handled everything from cooking and customer service to designing the branding, making illustrations, and managing social media. I also love using platforms like TikTok to help and inspire others!

Project Management & Law
Thanks to my master's degree and background, I excel at organization, logistics, administrative tasks, and problem-solving.

Sports and Outdoors
I'm a strong woman, I ride a bike, I enjoy hiking, swimming, running, and skating. I'm active, energetic, and comfortable with physical work.

Cooking
I started experimenting in the kitchen with my sisters during the pandemic, and I absolutely love trying new recipes, learning local dishes, and sharing my own Colombian flavors.

What else ...

Ultimately, being a lawyer and helping others is my true vocation, but my love for animals, nature, drawing and design, is a massive part of who I am. I never truly left those passions behind; instead, I bring that same multitasking energy, creativity wherever I go
