Personal Bio

Born in Bucaramanga, Colombia, I discovered my passion for golf at age 9, inspired by my older brother and his friends. Golf has taken me on an incredible journey, allowing me to represent my country in international events and explore the world. I honed my skills while playing collegiate golf at Michigan State University, where I grew both as an athlete and a person. Now in my third year as a professional golfer, I’ve competed on the LPGA and am currently playing on the Epson Tour. Golf has taught me resilience, patience, and the value of hard work. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but I’m committed to improving every day. My ultimate goal is to return to the LPGA and succeed at the highest level. Beyond golf, I strive to embrace challenges, learn from experiences, and grow as both a golfer and a person.
