Mariana Velasco

“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.
