Bio
About | As a driven and adaptable individual, I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in business administration and strategic management to drive innovation and foster positive change in dynamic environments. With a background in marketing and social media, coupled with a double-degree in Business Administration from the Universidad del Pacífico and the University of London, I have honed my skills in leadership, critical thinking, and teamwork.
My recent exchange semester at the Vienna University of Economics, funded by Erasmus+, further broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of international business dynamics. Engaging with the Entrepreneurship Center and volunteering with AIESEC in Austria allowed me to immerse myself in the vibrant entrepreneurial landscape of Vienna, where I actively participated in impactful business events.
One of my notable accomplishments includes volunteering at the “Future Forward” event hosted by WeXelerate, where I collaborated with industry leaders to discuss emerging trends and reinforce my passion for consulting. Witnessing firsthand the gender disparity in senior roles has fueled my commitment to promoting gender equality and empowering women in the business world.
My overarching goal is to contribute positively to the SBC community by sharing my perspectives, experiences, and collaborative spirit. I am motivated to join the SBC community to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from diverse perspectives, and collectively drive impactful change in the business landscape. |
