Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:

What makes you different?
I consider myself a committed and responsible person, capable of fulfilling any objective that I set!
Goals:
I want to obtain an academic degree of my choice and when I finish I would like to become a good professional. At the same time, I want to continue practicing the sport I love, and reach an optimal competitive level.
Anything else we should know?
In July of 2016 I received an invitation from the Federal Government of Mexico, through the National Commission of Sports and Physical Culture (CONADE) to perform admission tests to the National Talent Development and High-Performance Center (CNAR). The goal of this was to select the members of the National Youth Triathlon Team. I attended and was chosen by the Commission due to my successful time performance and the excellent academic grades I’ve got in high school. In the end, I made the decision to not join the Center, as despite the outstanding sports environment that it provides to athletes, the academic quality of the program was lacking and not up the expectations that I have.
