Ever since I was a child, I worked hard to improve my skills, especially in my studies, and when I finished high school, I was very grateful to receive a full scholarship to study abroad. I graduated summa cum laude with a major in International Business from Florida International University. My first year was tough because I had to adjust to living on my own and manage my finances, since my scholarship only covered my tuition, and as an international student, I wasn’t allowed to work to earn extra money. It was under these circumstances that I met some members of the Martínez family, who, like me, were studying abroad. They were a great blessing to me, not only through their friendship but also because they cooked delicious meals for me (especially Honduran food). Through this friendship, I had the opportunity to learn more about their company, Danilos Pura Piel, and its values and ethics as a business. All of this happened without me ever imagining that one day I would be using their products and representing the brand on all my business trips. For me, all these experiences have been life lessons that have truly helped me appreciate every blessing God gives me.

A few years later, I earned my master’s degree, receiving a Master’s Diploma from the University of Oxford. Thank God, I stood out as one of the top students in my class, with some of the highest grades.

I am married to the love of my life, whom I was fortunate enough to meet in high school, and since then I cannot imagine life without her. We have a 2-year-old daughter who is the new spark in my life, and together (with our dog) we are blessed to be building this new family.

I currently work for a company called Meltwater as Director for Latin America. Meltwater is a media intelligence company that helps organizations and businesses gather information from millions of sources—such as social media, traditional media, and any other channels—providing key insights to our executives and business owners so they can make informed decisions.
