I’m María José Gacharna, I’m 22 years old, and I was born in Bogotá, Colombia. I currently live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where I’m studying Sociology and Environmental Science.
Three and a half years ago, I discovered ultimate frisbee at university, and since then, it has become a fundamental part of my life. What started as a new recreational activity quickly turned into a passion that has allowed me to grow both as a person and as an athlete. Today, with great excitement and pride, I can share that I have been selected to represent my country, Colombia, at the Under-24 World Ultimate Frisbee Championship, which will take place this June in Logroño, Spain.
