Born in the coastal city of Guayaquil in Ecuador, Romina Herrera moved to the U.S. during her teenage years.

Romina has worked designing graphics, promotional materials and web pages for private clients, implementing SEO as part as a marketing agency, and for her internship, worked as a research assistant for Knight Foundation’s Eric Newton. She was an integral part of the Global Learning Faculty Fellowship project www.culturemapped.com for which she built the website and GIS Maps displaying patterns of immigration in southeast Florida. Currently, she works for Miami Children’s Health System, as the website content coordinator.
