Born in Mexico. Made in Sheffield.
I feel studying in such a multicultural and diverse environment is great. The first day I came in, I just came downstairs and I saw everyone from everywhere in the world and I was like, “Wow, I can meet so many people from different backgrounds, from different cultures, different experiences in life”. That's pretty enriching. It broadens your depth of how you see things and it allows you to meet a lot of nice people that teach you perspectives on things that maybe you didn't think about in the first place.
