Leading an organization with nearly two thousand employees and an annual budget exceeding twelve billion pesos, which addresses highly complex issues and emergencies, has undoubtedly provided me with significant skills. For example, prioritizing actions and budgets, working with a sense of urgency, organizing and coordinating teams, managing emotions and egos, controlling stress and pressure in critical situations, making complex decisions, and handling media exposure. I understood how the State works, I learned to navigate bureaucracy in order to implement projects and reforms, and make public statements in extreme situations.
Training incarcerated individuals in two Italian prisons taught me about the potential for self-determination development through the discovery of personal character strengths. It reinforced the capacity of individuals to rediscover themselves, recognize their place within something greater, and assume an active and responsible role for the benefit of what they now belong to.
These experiences allowed me to develop and enhance critical thinking and assertive communication.
I have participated in volunteer experiences in Ethiopia, Paraguay, and Uruguay, which have been fundamental in shaping my character, sense of justice, and personal development.
