    I am not only a fluent Spanish-English reader/speaker but also a bi-cultural person who has a broad solid background. I also have a passionate interest in different expressions of music, especially many American styles and their combinations (Folk-Country, Jazz, Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Rock, Soul, and so on), dance, stage and screen, and some other forms of artistic expression.

    “This is the 3rd time that Costa Rica has won the 1st gold medal and is emerging as the winner of the Ibero-American Olympiad. In the past, it had won the 2008 edition held in Heredia, Costa Rica, and 2014 in Montevideo, Uruguay. These achievements shape our country as a consolidated competitor in these Olympics”, the report stated.
