Mariana Velasco

Mexico
IAS 2017

“I am very passionate about language learning, and I can speak Spanish, English, French and German fluently. My favorite thing in the world is traveling, AND my favorite city is Paris, France. I am a passionate debater; my favorite topics to discuss are economics and politics. I would like to major in Economics or International Relations (maybe a combination of both!). My future plans involve possibly working as an analyst of public policy or being part of a international organization. I believe that the world is changing constantly and I feel passionate for all the challenges that are present today. Hopefully I can be able to tackle some of them in the future!”
