I’m a disciplined and passionate professional with a strong background in operations management, project direction, and team leadership within hospitality, tourism, and sports education. Over the past several years, I’ve led multicultural teams and developed community-centered projects in La Guajira, Colombia — combining hospitality, adventure tourism, and cultural exchange to create meaningful experiences for guests and local collaborators alike. As Operations Manager at Watú Kite House, I directed a team of indigenous staff, coordinated school expeditions, and managed daily operations at a boutique hotel serving athletes and travelers from around the world. My previous experience includes leading audiovisual and educational projects also in La Guajira, Colombia, as well as managing marketing, e-commerce, and brand development in the U.S. Fluent in English and Spanish, with working proficiency in French and Portuguese, I’m confident working across languages and cultures. I also have strong skills in translation, writing, and text editing, including grammar and orthography correction in both English and Spanish. In addition, I’m experienced in photo and video editing, audiovisual production, and creative storytelling for communication and brand development. With a degree in International Business from EAFIT University and a background that bridges leadership, communication, and creative production, I thrive in projects that blend structure with creativity, precision with empathy. I’m driven by social impact, human development, and the power of intercultural collaboration to build sustainable and inspiring environments.
