About Me 

My name is Valeria. I am a Global Affairs graduate student at Florida International University. I come from Bogota, Colombia, and I moved to the United States in the year 2010.

​

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, a Minor in Political Science, a certificate in Human Rights and political transitions & a certificate in Human Trafficking.  I participate in the National Political Science Honor Society, and one of my primary interests is Global Affairs, Competitive Politics, underdevelopment/development studies, and Human Rights. 

​

I have been fortunate to participate in the Global Medallion Program, which has helped me understand the variety of global issues and assist/help others in need. Not only the global medallion has taught me about culture, Global awareness, but it has increased my desire to participate in Global engagement activities. 

​

My main goal is to work for the Department of State as a Foreign Affairs Officer.
