About me: I hold a dual bachelors in Business Administration and Management and Accounting and Finance, complemented by a diploma in Marketing. I have over five years of experience in eCommerce, beginning my career at Despegar as a sourcing innovation senior analyst, where I focused on strategic sourcing projects and initiatives to drive business growth. Later, I joined Mercado Libre as a customer experience shipping senior analyst, collaborating with the product, user experience and IT teams to analyse data, enhance the customer experience and optimise shipping processes.

I am passionate about sustainability and social impact, which I actively explore through student leadership. I serve as an executive committee member in a number of LBS clubs and as a consultant at ImpactCap for TECHO, engaging directly with projects at the intersection of business, technology and social impact.

I decided to pursue the MBA programme at LBS to shift my focus toward roles that generate social and environmental impact, particularly in innovation, technology and sustainability.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring art and culture, oil painting and practising scuba diving and water sports.

Three topics I can be approached about: Technology and eCommerce; sustainability (energy and environment); why choose LBS.
