My name is Eliana Carolina Ochoa Beltrán, born on July 15, 2004, making me 21 years old. I was born in Quito, Ecuador, and have been fortunate enough to visit several other cities in the country. From a very young age, I attended various schools, including ISM, Colegio de América, and CEBI (in Ambato). Eventually, I found a school that offered modern primary and secondary education, and my sister and I stayed. From then until graduating, that was my academic home, until I entered university for the first time. Through ups and downs, I’m currently studying something I’m truly passionate about. I love how the media can influence other people’s perceptions of specific events or general topics, and that’s one of the reasons I’m studying communication.

I’ve always been interested in social issues. For example, when I was in high school, I was involved with the Student Council several times. I found the democratic process of students taking on the role of candidates and running for office really interesting. I also participated in Model UN conferences, always representing a different country.

In my free time, I enjoy reading and writing. At one point in my life, I wrote some poetry, but I think it was just a phase. I’m also very interested in anything related to social work. It’s always been an area of ​​work that has captivated me. Almost a year ago, I participated as a translator in a project my church, Alianza Los Chillos, carried out with the Fairhaven Church of America’s Medical Brigades. In this project, for instance, many people with limited resources were helped by providing medical consultations for a dollar, which included medication and basic lab tests if needed. That is one of the important social aid activities in which he participates.
