A brief story about me.

Hello my name is Juan Gerardo (some people call me Juan, my friends and family call me Gerardo and others call me JG, but I’m the same person ). I will share a brief story about me and how I got here.

From an early age, I was fascinated with nature. While other kids were playing video games or watching television, I wanted to go hiking and exploring outdoors. These activities became my favorite things to do. Since I couldn’t go to these places on my own, I started to involve my family in these adventures. When I learned that “Ecology” was the study of all living things and their relationship to the environment, I was so happy to know that I could, someday actually, study something as amazing as nature and its “little bugs”. Not only was I intrigued by nature, but I also developed early in life my entrepreneurship spirit. I was constantly dreaming about creating a company and hiring many of my friends. Most of the companies I dreamed up, while playing, didn’t work out because, as my grandfather told me, “I was paying all my friends too much money and I was going out of business”. As a child, it was very important for me to give my friends a good salary, meaning lots of candy, because I knew that they would be happier and would work more. From that early beginning as an entrepreneur interested in the environment, I went on to study biology at the university and do research on the “little bugs” that I found so interesting as a child. I have also taken business courses because I have never lost my dream to one day create my own company that combines my love of nature with a sustainable product.

Right now I feel the drive to pursue a new goal in my career where I can use my knowledge in the biosciences and blend it together with the new knowledge in business that I have acquired during my recent studies in biotechnology. When I started to study more about how most bio-companies work, I was disappointed to find out that most of them are not more efficient and eco-oriented as other companies from other sectors, even though they have a greater understanding of nature and its resources. Once I realized this, it was clear to me that learning the basic principles of business sustainability management and developing a business activity that is socially responsible would become a key aspect of my professional future. This desire has brought me to do the IMSD at EOI,classes have already started and I have met eighteen truly exceptional and unique classmates, from different parts of the world. I’m happy; I think that I have come to the right place.
