| Introduction | I was born in Buenos Aires and studied piano performance and music teaching. I've had the opportunity to work with an NGO in Indonesia and India the past few years and that's what inspired me to come to the US to do a M.A. in Intercultural Studies. The school I studied at, Fuller Seminary, and the city where I now live, New York, are as diverse and multicultural as India, which I really enjoy. |

Hmm, you pronounce the 'g' by pronouncing an ee right after the n. Footnote: The 'gn' marrige in Italian equals the 'ñ' sound in the Spanish alphabet.
