Education
When I first arrived at Queen's as an international student from Ecuador, I quickly learned what it felt like to navigate a new educational system far from home. That experience opened my eyes to the unique challenges international students face, and it's something that continues to drive my work today. With my background in international business and marketing, plus master's degrees earned in Canada and Italy, I've learned that the best education connects classroom learning with real-world impact. In my current role, I develop and execute marketing strategies, improve processes, and build partnerships that create new learning opportunities. What I find most rewarding is working directly with international students. Having been in their shoes, I understand the hurdles they encounter, and I'm passionate about helping them not just survive but truly thrive in their personal, educational, and professional journeys.
