Biography
I grew up in Uruguay speaking Spanish & Portuguese and moved to Utah when I was 22. Multiculturalism and equity have driven my career in the United States so others enjoy the access they need to live happy, healthy lives. I live in Salt Lake City with my partner Mauro and our two dogs Dexter and Lucas.
