About
Background
I am a Business Engineer from the University of Chile, and recently completed a Master's in Business Management with a focus on Global and Emerging Markets at the University of Bologna, Italy.
With experience in retail analysis, database management, and product development, I combine analytical depth with a global perspective shaped by living and working across four countries.
I am particularly drawn to international trade, data-driven decision making, and emerging market opportunities through bilateral cooperation.
