From University Innovation Fellows
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Josefina gomez p2.jpg    Josefina Gómez is a University Innovation Fellow candidate and a Law student at Universidad de Montevideo (UM). She always liked to help and communicate with people, that's why she pursues a career as a litigator. Josefina attended to the German school where she learnt to speak German and English fluently. In 2016, she lived for three months in a southern village in Germany where she met a wonderful family who hosted her and taught her about German culture, that's why she feels a strong connection with this country and in the future she would like to expand her legal studies there.  

    In her spare time, Josefina likes to be around her family and friends. At a very young age she learnt to play the piano and the guitar, as well as singing, something she loves to do all the time. Therefore, Josefina participated in several musical works, choirs and nowadays she has a band with her best friend. She thinks that music heals everyone and without it everything would be sad and boring. 

    Always looking for a way to change her surroundings, she took part in her high school's parliament. Now in University, she takes part in volunteering, among other activities. At UM, she was introduced to the Changemaker club, where she found a fantastic group of people who share her passion for making the world (or at least the University) a better place. There she met previous University Innovation Fellows who inspired her to follow their lead.
