I am a Systems and Computer Engineer and I currently work at the reinsurance company Pacífico Seguros.
Family
My fiancé's name is Mauricio Falla. We are getting married this year and we share our lives with our two beautiful cats, who are like our children.
Experience
The Work and Travel program was an incredible experience that helped me grow both personally and professionally. Thanks to this experience, I met people from many different countries and was able to significantly improve my English, as I used to feel very shy about speaking it.
In the professional sphere, this experience was also very valuable, as it allowed me to access better job opportunities. Companies tend to highly value these types of programs, especially when you don't yet have extensive work experience.
During my first Work and Travel program, I met my fiancé, Mauricio. We've been together for 9 years now, and I'm very happy to have met him thanks to this great experience, which brought us together and shaped our lives.
