Summary

A natural connector with a passion for community building and creating meaningful relationships, I am skilled in fostering trust with clients and creating authentic connections. My entrepreneurial experience has developed strong communication abilities for understanding people’s needs. Comfortably fluent in English (C1) and proficient in Spanish (B1), I can engage with diverse audiences and adapt to multicultural environments. With a natural aptitude for learning, I am actively expanding my technical vocabulary in both languages to better address specific professional contexts, ensuring quick and effective integration into new opportunities. I thrive in roles where I can inspire, engage, and contribute to projects that align with my values of sustainability, autonomy, and collaboration.
