AMBAR "MACARENA" ALFARO
MULTIMEDIA JOURNALIST
Place of Origin: Athens, GA
Macarena Alfaro is a recent graduate in multimedia journalism from Georgia Southern University. She is originally from Athens, Georgia, and was proudly raised with her Lima, Peru, roots and culture. She is determined to travel the world and cover global news while doing so. When she isn’t glued to her computer, she is outside being a dog mom to the chubbiest chocolate lab, Mila. If the word “friendly” had a picture beside it in the dictionary, it’d be these two.
What animal would you be, and why? A Leopard; they are fierce, fur-ocious, and intimidating at times but watching them move and work is magical.
Fav. Quote: “Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” –George Addair
