Irene Ferreira Teresa

Summary

Raised in the Aran Valley of Spain, I developed a strong passion for high-risk outdoor sports like skiing, trail running, and climbing. Now based in Bellingham, WA, I bring creativity, strong teamwork, and adaptability to every role. My background in psychology, along with my love for outdoor activities, fashion, and sports psychology, drives my continuous learning and growth.

Living in three countries has shaped my open-minded, versatile, and empathetic approach to engaging with people from diverse backgrounds. My studies in psychology have deepened my understanding of human relationships and enhanced my communication skills.

I am motivated by sustainability, community support, and innovation, and I aspire to create a better world through my work. I aim to integrate my psychology background with my passion for sports, outdoor activities, and fashion, creating spaces that inspire self-care, empowerment, mental resilience, and well-being.

With strong adaptability, perseverance, and a sense of responsibility, I am committed to making a positive impact while growing in dynamic environments and contributing to meaningful progress in both personal and professional development.
