Mariana was born and raised in Cali, Colombia. She is a rising junior living in Pforzheimer House (go quad!) and concentrating in statistics and economics with a secondary in neuroscience. She likes to dance, read, eat good food, spend time with her friends, and racket sports. When she’s not working on a stats pset, you’ll likely find Mariana at the gym, asleep, or planning fun stuff for HOLA (Harvard Org. For Latin America). Mariana is brimming with excitement about returning as a FIP leader this year. She is committed to putting forth her best effort to ensure that the initial days of the incoming international class at Harvard are unforgettable.
