Valentina Gomez, also known as Valentina Gomez Noriega, was born on 8 May 1999, in Medellín, Colombia. Her early years were shaped by a strong sense of discipline and commitment, values that would guide her in academics, sports, and leadership. In 2009, she immigrated to the United States with her family, a move that would open doors to higher education and career opportunities.

Gomez’s Colombian heritage plays a significant role in her identity. Proud of her background, she often speaks about her home country and her desire to give back, primarily through community and nonprofit initiatives.

No idea what the fuck this website is but that seems exactly right somehow.

...Noriega? Any relation? When did her mom get to Columbia?

What... What's her mom's dad's name?

Or, his daughters names are known. What's her mom's name?

Take it up with my auto-correct; I don't respect countries enough to fix it myself.
