About Me

I am a very motivated and hard-working business student. Curiosity is my first driver and I believe there is something to learn from any kind of situation. I had the chance to work and study abroad; traveling is really the key to mind-opening and a constant effort to achieve improvements.
I am a passionate worker, who undertake job assignments with a serious and positive dedication. I usually adapt in the work environment I find myself in, work very well in a team setting and meet deadlines.

On the personal side, I love basketball and sports in general, and my favorite hobby is cooking.
