RAUL ANTONIO GARCIA VILLARROEL

I am a proactive leader focused on the work and motivation of people to achieve wellness in the development of their daily personal and work life. During my professional life I graduated as an Petroleum Engineer and I had the opportunity to work in my home country for two of the largest oil service companies worldwide (Baker Hughes and Halliburton), I specialized as a drilling fluids engineer in Houston-Texas and I have 10+ years of work experience, being one of the main functions the monitoring and compliance of safety and occupational health processes, allowing me to give talks and motivate the frequent care of physical and emotional health. In these three years as a Latino immigrant in the USA, I have done different jobs based on customer service and satisfaction, where I could also focus on the importance of physical health care, touching topics such as protection and care against COVID-19, lifting loads, handling sharp objects, risks of burns by handling hot objects and fire hazards. In addition to this, in the last six months I have participated in educational talks for the LGBTQ+ community and I also participate as a health promoter recruiting and encouraging people from the Latino community to take rapid tests such as HIV, STD, glucose, A1C and Cholesterol, in order to know their health status and be able to take preventive or corrective actions as appropriate.
