BUENAS!
Hello everyone!
Welcome to by first blog! Ever.
Yes, I have never blogged before so this will be an interesting journey to say the least. Personally, I have nothing against it, I’m actually a bit more intimidated by the idea of posting my thoughts online for the world to read and comment on. However, I’m looking forward to coming out of my shell and sharing my thoughts and ideas with you.

Let’s talk about me a bit, but I promise to only highlight the important things that have brought me to where I am right now, EOI.
I was born in Argentina but moved to South Florida when I was eight years old. I had a major live change at such a young age, and I believe it to be the point in my life that has brought me to where I am today. My interests were shaped by the opportunities I was given.
I went to college at Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!) where I studied International relations and also where I was first introduced to environmental sustainability. After my sophomore year, I went back to Florida to begin an environmental sustainability internship with the PepsiCo Headquarters for Latin America. I continued to work each summer with them until I graduated and they offered me a long-term internship that lasted 8 months. I owe all my knowledge of this subject to this job and the people I had the pleasure to work with throughout the years. While still working there, I was inspired to seek a masters that could teach me more about sustainable development but also corporate responsibility, since it was the CR part that I was so involved with throughout some projects we developed in Latin America. Before I knew it, I had landed on the IMSD program at EOI.
Fast-forward a couple of months.
October 22, 2012: I attended my first class at IMSD and met a wonderfully driven group of people who are just as eager as me to learn about sustainability and to carry it out in their personal and professional lives. Perfection.
