To get to know the new assistant editor Lucía Matamoros, we sat down to ask her about her background, hobbies, interests, and what drew her to Hola Cultura.
What excited you about working at Hola Cultura?
I applied to Hola Cultura because I was very interested in the organization. I think it’s a very cool organization with programs that help people develop their talent when they are very young. Also, at this stage in my career, I’m very passionate about journalism and culture.
I understand you are originally from Colombia. How has it been living in the D.C. area?
I thought being in D.C. would be an American experience, but there is so much Latino culture here. Now I have two American friends, and 12 Colombian friends. There is a mix of cultures here that I find interesting. Latin American culture has a big impact here.
What areas have you explored so far?
I arrived six months ago. Everything is new to me. I’m always walking around the National Mall because it is so beautiful. It’s my favorite. I still go almost every weekend to walk around. It’s a city with many cultural activities, so I love that. I also love the other surrounding cities, like old town Alexandria.
Any pets?
Mojito, he’s a black lab. He has so much personality. He’s super energetic, but he’s a little crazy. People think he’s aggressive because of his look, but that’s not right. Anywhere he sees water, he jumps. He’s good company for sure.
Welcome, Lucía!
