To make a difference

ABOUT ME

I am an Industrial Designer with a MBA (Holland) and a Master2 "international cooperation and humanitarian affairs" (France). I have lived in USA, The Netherlands, France and Colombia. I currently live in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia and work independently as a consultant, mentor and trainer in the areas of entrepreneurship, innovation, strategy, leadership and international cooperation, through my personal brand.

I speak English, Spanish, French and have some basics of Dutch. I am independent and at the same time sociable and none smoker. I love traveling, painting, meeting people around the world, reading, going to the cinema and dancing. I also enjoy landscapes, nature, international cultures, art and diversity.

I am a sensitive and spiritual person and at the same time passionate in different aspects of my life. I am sincere and appreciate very much honesty. I am a bit adventurer; I love to learn and experiment new things (in the good sense), to explore and to visit new places and try new meals. I believe in God and in a positive energy that moves and inspires the world.

I am a dreamer, sometimes idealist and at the same time I know where I want to go in my life. I love life, my family and friends. I have had the opportunity to experience many different experiences in life and I would love to share them.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Buddha
