Hobbies / Surfing (specially early in the morning) and running (it was my main sport before I started surfing).

I'm from Punta del Este, Uruguay, a beautiful seaside resort. I have always been very close to the ocean but only started surfing 6 years ago thanks to my boyfriend's instistance. We were in Australia at that time in a work and holiday visa.

In January 2021 I bough a longboard for the small waves of the summer at home and never got back to my shortboard. Uruguay is a country that lacks of waves consistency, therefore longboarding is a perfect match.
I started competing locally last year and has so far been a beautiful journey. Being here today representing my small but gorgeous country is the biggest dream I could have ever had related to surfing.

Work-wise I studied Business and Management and I'm now working at a Bank as an Account Executive. I can often find myself coming back home from my day with my wet wetsuit but wearing shirts and blazers.
