About me

Hello! My name is Chris Armstrong and I work at Colegio Franklin D. Roosevelt in Lima, Peru as the Athletics & Activities Coordinator. I am also starting a new journey as the Summer/Winter Camps director. I was born in Peru, mom is Peruvian and dad is Australian. An interesting fact about myself is that I am also an FAA licensed Commercial Pilot.
