What’s stopping you?
Well, actually I believe we are mostly stopping ourselves. We have the tendency to tell ourselves we can’t do something. While we really need to believe in ourself and capabilities more!
I love balance, action, creativity and making things happen. My career has been focused on the operational side of Finance which means translating the business reality into numbers, making sure the resources are dedicated to the common goal and bringing everyone together to make sure we are all on the same page. It is tough sometimes but seeing the business success is the most rewarding part.
On the personal side I keep working continiously to know myself better, give the best of my while I‘m in this world and collaborate with every project or person my time and values allow me. I‘m a board member of the Women Empowerment Club of Esade Alumni and in my free time I try to help women that are starting their own businesses.
Besides what people say, Finance is a lot more than just numbers. It is a big playfield actually, where you can build things and are allowed to be creative, using shapes and colors. I would like to encourage people to explore this fun side too.
I find beauty where I recognize my values and in the nature. I find happiness in the 3 F‘s. Family, Friends & Fools. Because without fooling around, life is not that much fun!
No matter what I always get up. Changing countries, loosing beloved ones, new job , a huracan… Sooner or later, I always get up.
Not setting boundaries right away. I‘ve paid a huge emotional bill on that both professionally and in my personal life.
I‘m very curious and a doer. I don‘t consider myself an entrepreneur when it comes to business since I‘ve always worked for companies. My position is a trust position then I‘m always inhouse.
My two grandmas. What they‘ve lived and survived , the generosity ,kindness they‘ve had is my inspiration everyday.
I worked at the bookstore my parents owned!
Destiny.
In my free time, I love to bake cupcakes, pies and more. I love to be creative here too.
Making new friends. That’s what I love about Juno House Club, to meet many other women to make connections with.
Accompanying cancer patients who are alone. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I think it is important we all contribute to this cause in a way. Nobody should go through this alone. We all need each other’s support in life.
Being alone in silence looking at the sea. It’s very peaceful.
Just f*cking do it, basically.
Es Fascinante. They do Spanish slow fashion and everything is fascinating!
No matter what challenges life throws at you, life goes on and you should make the best out of every day. Carpe diem :).
