But Let me introduce myself my name is Berenice. I studied Marketing in the University of Guadalajara, after that I had a scholarship to teach Mexican Culture in France, this experience opened and changed the way to see the world and appreciated my country, my city and overall be proud of my culture. After that, I headed to Buenos Aires to study a Master Degree and lived and shared one of the happiest moments in my life.
