Hello, everyone! Does any of you have at least one of the seven wonders in your country? I am proud to say I DO! :) Have you heard about Machu Picchu? It is a spiritual, magical place!! It is located in Peru, the country where I was born and raised.
Teamwork, hardwork and perseverance are my keys to success. I studied Business Administration and worked in the Sales and Marketing Departments at the largest consumer products company in Peru for 4 years. I am currently working at 3M Peru, which has been a totally different experience since I started in 2013! After marketing snacks and cooking oils, I had to do the same with harnesses and rescue products. It has been challenging but I love it now!
After the MBA, I would like a business development position in a leading consumer products company. Someday, when I return to Peru, I will start my own tourism sector business.
Family is my #1 priority! Spending time with loved ones always makes me happy. I am getting married with my long-time boyfriend in July so I am really excited (kind of a Bridezilla, only with better organization!)
I believe that if you really want to make an extreme change in the world, then you have a responsibility. I am an active volunteer in Ankay, a non-profit organization that helps talented young people from disadvantages backgrounds, giving them scholarships to attend to the best universities in the country. It is very heartwarming to see how people’s lives are truly changed.
How do I spend my free time? Hmmm.. I appreciate diversity and I try to reinvent myself every time I can. I played Basketball for 9 years and Piano for 6 years. I speak 3 languages. I have visited 13 countries (I love travelling!). I spend a lot of time going to the beach, reading novels, and camping.
