Summary

I am a Venezuelan immigrant with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science, earned four years ago. I came to the United States seeking a better life after the political situation in my home country forced me to pursue new opportunities. Like many immigrants, I had to adapt and start from scratch, but I have always remained focused on my goal of returning to the career I studied with great passion. My life mission has always been to help others, regardless of the role I occupy. I am fully prepared, consistently delivering high-quality work, and I am deeply committed to working hard for the common good.
