• Managing a business effectively. Throughout the program, I gained essential knowledge about business strategy and leadership while developing key skills such as creative thinking, teamwork, and effective communication. The course emphasized the importance of collaboration, as I worked closely with peers on group projects, enhancing my ability to contribute and thrive in team environments. This experience not only broadened my understanding of entrepreneurship but also strengthened my interpersonal and problem-solving abilities, which are vital for success in any professional setting.

During middle school at Instituto Atone, I won 1st place at the school science fair with an innovative project: a hydraulic hand. The hand used syringes and water to replicate human articulation, demonstrating principles of hydraulics and engineering in a creative and practical way. This experience fueled my passion for science and problem-solving, showcasing my ability to design and execute projects with precision and ingenuity.

• I participated in a photography class where I learned how to effectively operate and manipulate a camera, mastering techniques such as adjusting settings for lighting, focus, and composition. The course also encouraged me to explore and refine my creativity, teaching me how to capture unique perspectives and tell stories through visual imagery.

• Sports have always been a significant part of my life, with tennis being a passion I’ve pursued since childhood, even representing my country on multiple occasions. Through tennis, I developed valuable qualities like self-control, mental strength, discipline, and perseverance. Additionally, I played flag football for three years, where I learned the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and trust. Both experiences have shaped me, teaching me life lessons that extend beyond the field and the court.
