What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values ethical practices and offers growth opportunities in public finance.

I am a dedicated professional with a Master of Public Finance and a strong background in quality engineering and accounting. My career spans various roles in public service and entrepreneurship, where I have honed my skills in decision-making, critical thinking, and effective management. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate effectively in diverse environments.

As the owner and manager of Artesanal Raíces, I gained invaluable experience in marketing, logistics, and social media management, despite the challenges of running a business. My previous roles, including Internal Control Manager and Auditor, have equipped me with a deep understanding of public finance, internal controls, and compliance with regulations. I am passionate about promoting ethical conduct and transparency in all my professional endeavors.
