Tell us a little about yourself.

Well, I studied in American Schools until 2009, where we spoke English as well as Spanish, this was important for my family as well as for myself. In 2005 I travelled to the US to a Football camp for 2 months, where I was in charge of different matches with soccer scouting and recruiting from different colleges. I received offers from 10 colleges, but decided to start my career in Economics in one of the most prestigious colleges in Argentina, San Andrés University. After two years I decided to get a Bachelor of Science Degree in International Business, at the European School of Economics. I’m 23 years old, born in Ecuador, then moved to Paraguay and then moved to Argentina! I currently live in Madrid.

What are, for you, the most important attributes when choosing a school?

I think that what a school should offer is: academics, integrity, good locations, flexibility, and be globally recognized.

Why the European School for Economics?

I chose ESE because it brings a new concept of higher education to the world today. It’s easy to change between different centers and allows you to adapt your studies with your personal interests. In my case, I wanted to study business, but I’m also really passionate about sports, and in ESE, while I’m doing my studies in International Business, I can complement it with the Short Course in Sport Management and do the internship in worldwide highly recognized sports companies. Also its degrees are validated by the University of Buckingham (UK); it was important for my parents I receive a British degree and it’s the only programme with guaranteed internship opportunities!

What’s your dream?

My dream is to become indispensable to society. I want to be able to travel around the world, knowing about different cultures and people and to enrich myself with new life experiences all around the world. I want to earn a living doing something I love! Isn’t that everyone’s dream?

How has your experience of changing campuses been so far?

It’s been such a gratifying experience. I feel that every 3 years, I need to get out of my comfort zone and go somewhere new. I don’t like the idea of staying in one place for too long. Changing cities and living in different cultures is something that I really enjoy… it’s a fun way to learn, make contacts and study at the same time. I’ve already committed to Rome and Madrid but really want to experience London and be able to move to Milan or New York, too many choices!

What are your plans for the summer? What are you most looking forward to this year?

Finishing my internship in marketing in DATACOM. Then I’ll be travelling for a few weeks to Argentina and then go on a mini tour around Europe. This year I’m really looking forward to travelling even more and gain experiences in the area of my interest. Hopefully I’ll get to live in London or Milan after my time in Madrid, still haven’t decided.
