Since a very young age, I had had a passion for sports and the discipline required to achieve excellence. At 17 years old, I found myself completely focused on my goal of qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games and achieving a medal at the World Modern Pentathlon Championships. I am currently in my last year of school, and although my training demands a large part of my time, I also put effort into my studies. My dream is to study Economics or Business Administration in the United States, seeking a balance between my academic and sports development. I am determined to become the best pentathlete in Ecuador, representing my country with pride in every international competition. The motivation I feel when thinking about carrying the Ecuadorian flag to the podium is what drives me to give my best every day.
