About me!
    
 * Hi! My name is Mariana Ruiz Velasco Leyva, I am 21 years old, and I am currently studying on the Undergraduate Program on Genomic Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) campus Morelos. I am a very girly girl who always likes to try new things, tries to keep laughing and smiling, and loves her family and friends very much. 
 * What I like? Well, I certainly have a big range of activities to get me entertained and busy at all times ;). Right now, my very first love is iGEM <3, but I also make myself time for school, dancing and hanging out with my friends, reading papers for pleasure, exercising, and listening to good music. 
 * If you ever want to contact me Email me through OpenWetWare or to mruizvelley@gmail.com and I'll gladly check it. Ciao!
