Site Ambassador

Hi! I’m Antonia Mendez, a junior at NYU Gallatin, where I’m crafting my unique concentration in Digital Storytelling and Memory Studies. I was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, and moved to NYC for college. I am now thrilled to be in Prague, ready to immerse myself in the city’s rich culture and create lasting memories. My passions revolve around filmmaking (which inspires my concentration), reading, soccer, and travelling. Each of these interests reflects my love for stories—whether they’re captured on film, written on a page, or experienced through new places and people. As a Site Ambassador, I’m here to serve as a resource and a friendly face for everyone, helping to foster a strong, connected community. Whether you have suggestions, ideas, or just want to chat and explore the city together, feel free to reach out via WhatsApp (+1 3476462790) or email. I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing this incredible experience with you!
