About

Fourth-year student of the degree in international business at the Santa María La Antigua University. Throughout my university career, I have been able to acquire multiple knowledge in various areas of business such as marketing, finance, administration, market research, logistics, and project management, among other things. As far as extracurricular activities go, I have participated in several, such as soccer, kickball, and debate, as a flagship activity. In this discipline, I have managed to develop a better capacity for argumentation, oratory, and support. Added to this is the experience of having competed in different debate tournaments at the national and international levels.
