About Andrés

I’m Andrés, come from Perú, and I study Biochemistry at the Technical University of Munich. Living in Germany as an international student for the past four years has been a continuous journey of self-discovery. If I could go back and tell the version of myself who had just arrived everything I’ve achieved—traveling across Europe, becoming a board member of the university’s Latin American student association, learning to work with human cells under sterile conditions—I wouldn’t have believed it. Join me for the next chapters of this journey!
