Hello! I’m Catalina. I’m a chican@ from Atlanta, Georgia. I am a first year Posse Scholar. My first language is Spanish with English following close behind. I have two elder sister and two elder brothers. My family has two dogs, two birds, a rabbit, and I have a cat, Bumblebee, that I love and miss so much. I’m so excited to finally being able to learn about topics that I am actually interested in!

I’m taking Colonia History because I was never able to learn in depth about Pre-Colombian Latin America and only a Euro-centric whitewashed version of Latin American history. This is my culture that I am going to be learning about and I could not be more ecstatic. I will finally be able to have knowledge about my history and have a better connection with my roots.
