About Me
Born and raised in Colombia, I’ve had the opportunity to live in Wales, Hawaii, India, and Uganda, before moving to Canada. My fascination for other cultures has been ignited by my desire to relate and learn about people – a longing that has opened the doors for me to work alongside gifted individuals in a variety of community settings.
As a professional, my mission is to use my knowledge of psychology to help organizations recruit and manage their staff more humanely – acknowledging employees as their most valuable asset and recognizing the need to develop people personally and professionally.
Much of the fulfillment that I get from my career goes back to my social investment. I’m deeply passionate about working with vulnerable populations, which is reflected by my experience working with those experiencing mental health issues, children in foster care, people with addictions, victims of abuse, and unhoused individuals.
Outside of work, you can find me catching up with friends, looking into the latest films, pretending to be a food critic, and aspiring to make it into the Colombian version of So You Think You Can Dance.
