Summary
I am a 22-year-old young man who is passionate about new challenges that force me to step out of my comfort zone and develop ideas capable of generating impact on society. Empathy, resilience, teamwork, emotional intelligence, and focus are some of the main characteristics that I believe define me. I am constantly seeking experiences that enrich myself and the people around me. The phrase that best defines me is: "I do not achieve perfection, but I pursue excellence."
