I was born in South America, lived in the U.S.A and now I reside in Sweden.  I possess a multicultural background and experience in different fields that allows me to understand issues with a broader perspective. My specialization is on business, clusters and communications. My work in EPROCA has enabled me to participate in different events, conferences and forums and to network with professionals from a wide range of sectors.

EPROCA has recently hosted the Annual meeting for INSME (International Network for Small and Medium Enterprises) and we have interesting up-coming events!

Personal quote:

I enjoy learning from others and believe that there is nothing that cannot be achieved without hard work and determination.
