Fabiola was born in Canada to immigrant parents from a small country in Latin America, El Salvador. She has always been fascinated by other cultures, languages, and people. Fabiola grew up in Ottawa, and graduated with a B.A. (Honours) in Criminology and Criminal Justice,
with a concentration in Sociology, from Carleton University. Education and growth have always been an important part for her life journey.
In 2012, she decided to take the plunge and try living and working in another country. She decided to go come to China to experience work and travel life as an ESL teacher, but soon discovered that there was something more going on in China. There were many opportunities to explore and create new values for herself. She was lucky to have her high school best friend with her and together started their own organization, Global Friendship. As the Co-founder of Global Friendship, she now works to strengthen the GF community by creating diverse and meaningful events and services.
