I have been described as non-conformist, restless, and inquisitive, and from time to time these traits drive my husband crazy….
That restlessness drove me to apply to schools outside of my home country, Peru, for graduate studies eventually leading me to London Business School where I received my MBA. It also led me to relocate to Madrid where I started my own business.
Moving to NYC and finding a role in an NGO dedicated to helping women around the world was a revelation: I can do my part in fighting structural inequality and make a difference in peoples’ lives. At NFF, every single organization that comes to us is doing important work within the community. As part of the Financing Business Development team, I am finally able to bring my experience in finance and my passion for economic development to bear on making the world a better place.
Dancing is in my nature. Zumba is dancing AND exercise- I love melting stress away in my classes! Hanging with our dog Pipa is always a pleasure. From the greetings when coming home to the weekend adventures she is always eager for, she makes my world a better place too.
