The initial decade of my career, I primarily focused on my administrative and organizational expertise. However, in 2017, I took a leap out of my comfort zone when I relocated to South Africa and seized the opportunity to cultivate my creative skills, which I had never explored before. These two stages of my career allowed me to be very versatile and feel comfortable performing both administrative and creative tasks. Moving from the structured corporate environments of international companies and the United Nations to a smaller Non-Profit Organization with less defined structures further sharpened my ability to adapt to change. This transition challenged me to embrace flexibility and navigate new landscapes effectively. Moreover, working with individuals from diverse countries and cultures—whether at Siemens, Tenaris, the United Nations, or my current role in the NPO—have significantly contributed to my adaptability. These experiences have taught me to appreciate different perspectives, communicate across cultural boundaries, and thrive in multicultural settings. In summary, my journey reflects a continuous commitment to developing and applying versatility and adaptability, two skills that have become integral to my professional identity. These qualities empower me to tackle new challenges, innovate, and excel in a dynamic world. THANK YOU Thank you taking the time to explore my diverse career and skill set.
