Q: What do you think leadership is? Do you have leadership? How do you present your leadership?

A: I think leadership is the ability of taking charge of a project and being able to navigate a group towards an objective. I've had my moments where I had to take a leading role.

Q: Why do you think photography is essential to life? How do you use it to improve our community?

A: I think photography is essential to life because it allows us to maintain a visual record of moments that happened, it's also a great way for one to express themselves. One can use it as a tool for expression and communication, therefore it's essential in our community.

Q:Why do you think social media has importance?

A: Social media has importance because it's a way for people to connect and communicate  no matter where they are. It's like another dimension inside the web where we can reach limitless possibilities.

Q: What do you enjoy most other than photographing?

A: Other things besides photography that are part of my daily personal life are reading and writing. I took creative writing in high school and that class made me realize how much I love poetry, I also love reading memoirs. Also, I love art so I try to express myself in every creative way I can, drawing, painting, etc.

Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

A: It's hard for me to think of the future even 2 months from now, since I realized that life can change completely from one day to the other. However, right now I like to picture myself as a teacher, probably art.

Q: Who influenced you the most in your life, who supported you all this time?

A: Probably my mother, since she's the one who's done everything that's possible for me to grow up in the best environment I can. She gave up so much of her time to be able to get us the best education possible.

Q:  Who is your favorite artist or type of art? Why?

A: I don't necessarily have a particular favorite artist or type of art. I love discovering new artists as I go. One of the most influential ones I encountered was definitely Picasso.
