About: Jess Alatorre

Profile:

I don't know where I'm from; Depending on my mood I'll say I'm Peruvian, Mexican, British or American. I went to college in the woods of Vermont, and now I work in Washington D.C. raising awareness about global hunger. I have a not-so-secret love of music and [modern] art and I like to keep those things in my life, in my spare time. Hence, I’m here!
