Born in Venezuela, son of two engineers, I always knew I wanted to be one as well.
Passionate about technology and robotics.
Move to Canada to pursue new opportunities and found out how amazing multiculturalism is.
I consider myself an active person that tries to find balance between body and mind.
During the time I was doing my Advanced Diploma, I joined the Research department (PDx GBC) and two of the projects were with a company in Barrie.
Right after graduation, I was offered a position in the company, and moved to Barrie (beginning of pandemic).

Why did you choose the Sprott Professional MBA?

After my superior retired from the company, and I took his position, I lost all mentorship. I was feeling stagnated at work, moving to higher positions but wondering what skills I needed to develop. My ex-manager from PDx did the program at Carleton and recommended to me. I did research and found that it was a great opportunity since I had moved to a management position.
