I was born in Colombia in 1978, I grew up in a Catholic and very open-minded family when it comes to allowing me to explore my own beliefs and reality. As a young student I attended a Catholic school in Colombia were I was by no means the best student, and not the worst either. I Graduated High school in 1995 and decided to pursue a Major in Economics and Finance; started my College Education in Colombia where after 2 years of education I moved with my whole family to the United States where I completed a Bachelors Degree in Economics and Finance followed by an MBA with specialization in Banking and Investments.

In 2005, after finalizing that part of my formal education I started to work as a business and financial consultant, working for companies in Latin America and the United States. At the same time I continued my education by taking programs in Data Science and Risk Management, knowledge that open the doors of a Fortune 500 company where I worked as a Marketing and Sales Data Analyst, experience that opened my mind to the world of applied behavioral sciences, neuro-marketing, and at the same time gave me the opportunity to learn and experience conscious experiential learning.

Shortly after the Covid-19 “Era”, I took a role within the Airline Industry where as the leader of FP&A developed decision making tools and designed short and long-term data intensive financial models for internal and external stakeholders. My work and role within the airline continues to be the standard for planning and budgeting.

Teamwork, leadership, and effective communication skills played an important role in my success in all my roles; not only professionally but in life in general.
