I am a second-year Finance major at the University of Florida’s Warrington College of Business with a strong interest in the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and fostering business growth. Originally from Colombia, emigrating to the United States shaped my work ethic, adaptability, and global perspective. Growing up in a new country, I helped my mom build her business through social media marketing and strategic outreach, which sparked my passion for merging financial consulting with creative problem solving. What drives me is a commitment to intellectual curiosity, authentic connection, and creative problem solving, always pursuing opportunities to learn and create meaningful impact.
