About

I was born and raised in Spain, spending 16 years there before moving to Japan where I am currently studying at Rikkyo University's Global Liberal Arts Program (GLAP). Through these experiences, I have acquired business-level proficiency in Spanish, Galician, Japanese, and English, with conversational skills in Portuguese. GLAP's curriculum emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, allowing me to gain extensive knowledge across fields like international business, communication, and sociology, rather than focusing solely on one major. The program's emphasis on group work and presentations has helped me cultivate leadership skills. Through these experiences, I have honed skills such as flexibility, teamwork, leadership, and communication, achieving a GPA of 3.53. Additionally, I have studied abroad in Greece, which deepened my understanding of different cultures, broadened my international perspective, and enhanced my adaptability and flexibility in new environments. One of my strengths is adaptability, developed through experiences in various countries and cultures since childhood. This flexibility enables me to quickly adapt to new situations, accept new ideas and solutions promptly, and act decisively as needed. Furthermore, communication is another forte of mine. Fluent in four languages, I can effectively communicate with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, adjusting my communication style according to the leadership style required to strengthen relationships with team members and stakeholders. I am driven by a constant desire for self-improvement, leveraging past experiences and feedback to continuously grow. I am proactive in acquiring new skills and knowledge, demonstrating a readiness to adapt to changing environments.
