Leaving my country of birth [Venezuela] has expanded my vision of what it means to be a citizen in and of the world while pursuing a doctorate in ethnomusicology has increased my enthusiasm and respect for the cultural and artistic diversity that is part of that world. As a citizen and a scholar, I strive to share my appreciation for the arts by promoting their richness and importance within and beyond [academia].
