Never stop learning. That is my moto.

The 'Learner' is my most prominent (Clifton) strength, followed by the 'Includer' and the 'Restorative'. That is to say that I am energized by solving problems and by learning new skills, while being mindful and intentional about inclusion. No, this is not paid advertisement. I am genuinely interested in leadership. I come from an engineering background and had first hand experience with good and bad management. I believe that a good manager should develop the ability to identify the strengths of each member of the team. Hence, I seek to learn about the topic.

As a scientist, my interests lie at the intersection of data science, operations research, and communication systems. I use machine learning and artificial intelligence tools and concepts on a daily basis, and I am fascinated by all the things that I don't know in this area. Again, constantly learning. And to me, there is no better way to learn than teaching. I like to give presentations and enjoy mentorship activities.

As a human, I am interested in psychology, neuroscience, environmental issues, and inclusion. I am a female with origin in Latin America. During my undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering, women represented about 12% of my class. Fifteen years later, the representation of female students in engineering is roughly 20%. Engineering is still predominantly a white male field. Needless to say, diversity and inclusion are values that are very close to my heart. I am still searching for more ways to make a difference.
