Mrs.Alfaro EXCLUSIVE

by: Charlie Thom '25

Moving between the United States and Venezuela was not always easy, but Mrs. Alfaro stayed curious about the world around her. She was fascinated by the ancient peoples and civilizations. This goal translated throughout her education, eventually leading her to pursue anthropology in college. She would pour over artifacts in her apartment for hours, usually joined by her little sister.

When she was 25, the political climate in Venezuela was volatile, and Mrs. Alfaro came to America with her sister. This was a big step, as they traveled with just two suitcases to start the next chapter of their lives. A few months later, her then-boyfriend/now-husband, also traveled to America where he pursued his MBA.
