Growing up in two different cities of Ecuador, with an Ecuadorian father and an American mother, I developed a deep appreciation for cultural richness. This upbringing emphasized how culture influences various aspects of life. Once in college in Poughkeepsie, New York, I actively pursued opportunities to immerse myself in diverse cultural experiences, such as studying for a semester in Portugal and doing an internship in Spain. Now, with my different degrees in International Business, Marketing, and Global Issues, I aim to contribute to organizations that value diversity and use my perspective shaped by extensive cultural exposure.
