Natalia's passion for swimming was sparked at the age of seven, when she learned to swim at a local swimming school in Bucaramanga, Colombia. Ever since those first lessons, swimming became an integral part of her life -- particularly at Colombia's stunning beaches! In addition to abundant experience as both a lifeguard and a swim teacher, Natalia boasts over three years of experience teaching mathematics to children and teenagers, a role she finds immensely fulfilling. A mathematician by profession, she is currently pursuing a master's degree in mathematics education, further solidifying her commitment to teaching and holistic learning. Her ultimate aspiration is to continue imparting knowledge and values to younger generations, both academically and through sports. In her leisure time, she finds joy in cooking, staying active through exercise, and cherishing quality moments with her family—activities that enrich both her personal and professional life.
