I am confident that my diverse professional background will contribute meaningfully to any local or international organization focused on social development. My interests, skills, and passion are closely aligned with education, culture, and humanitarian aid. Having worked and lived in Uruguay, Colombia, the United States, Togo, and Cambodia, I bring a global perspective, adaptability, and dedication to making a difference in vulnerable communities.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts from the Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay. During my studies, I not only honed my technical skills but also developed a deep commitment to creating inclusive spaces for self-expression and cultural exchange. As an independent multifaceted artist, I have had the privilege of exhibiting my work across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, the United States, Italy, Togo, and Cambodia. In addition, my contributions to advertising campaigns, short films, and feature films have sharpened my visual storytelling skills and my ability to collaborate on creative projects.
As a Peace Corps Volunteer in Cambodia (2022-2024), I gained invaluable experience working with vulnerable populations in a post-conflict society still recovering from the Khmer Rouge Genocide. This experience shaped my professional approach to promoting social development through cultural, educational, and artistic initiatives. During my service, I developed skills in strategic thinking, mentoring, innovation, financial management, communication, planning, organization, teamwork, leadership, adaptability, and emotional intelligence.
Prior to this, my role as a Customer Experience Agent (2021-2022) in Uruguay allowed me to manage sensitive, high-stakes interactions, resolving complex issues, and improving customer satisfaction. My responsibilities in both English and Spanish included technical support and ensuring compliance with internal policies. This role enhanced my soft skills, particularly in conflict resolution and emotional intelligence, which are vital in both client-facing and leadership positions.
Additionally, during my time as a Consular Assistant at the U.S. Embassy in Lomé, Togo (2020-2021), I handled consular services, logistical coordination, and social media communications, even contributing to the 2020 U.S. Presidential Campaign efforts. This role deepened my understanding of international relations and strengthened my ability to engage diplomatically with diverse stakeholders.
My linguistic skills further support my international work. I am a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, and have basic proficiency in French and Khmer. These language skills, combined with my cultural adaptability, enable me to work effectively with diverse teams and communities.
Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated leadership, creativity, and a drive for innovation. Whether working independently or within a team, I strive to exceed expectations and ensure the success of every project I am part of. My diverse background in visual arts, humanitarian aid, and communications positions me uniquely to contribute to a wide range of sectors, including creative industries and development organizations.
I am eager to bring my skills and experiences to a role where I can continue fostering positive change while advancing my professional development. I believe my passion for social development, combined with my multicultural experience and language proficiency, make me a strong candidate for positions that value innovation, collaboration, and inclusivity. I am committed to creating impactful, inclusive projects that promote global development and peace, regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation.
