STUDYING ABROAD
In 2018 she began studying at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, United States of America. "It is a new chapter in my life. I'm living alone and I'm studying in a different way than what I have done here [in Costa Rica]. It's a new way of training. It's completely different but I'm excited about that. I love being on a big team [at Harvard University], it's definitely something that helps a lot and makes practising easier. There's always someone working hard and when you're tired at a hard training session it lifts up the rest of the team. Everyone wants the others to do well." (nacion.com, 08 Aug 2018) |
