Summary

I am a dedicated fourth-year Economics and Administrative Sciences student at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, currently on exchange at Durham University. I have experience in retail sales, with an entrepreneurial venture with football jerseys. Proficient in English, Spanish, and various computer programs, I blend academic acumen with practical expertise in retail, entrepreneurship, and international trade. My goal is to leverage these diverse skills in roles focused on marketing analytics, finance, and strategic business development. In addition, my versatile background, commitment to sports and martial arts, and passion towards soft skills are valuable assets for any team seeking a well-rounded and driven individual.
