My professional background didn't begin in an office or a public institution. It began behind a camera.
Around 2016, when I was just 15, I started working in audiovisual production. What began as an interest in filmmaking gradually became my first experience planning projects, coordinating people, and working toward a shared result. I participated in independent productions, worked behind the camera, and eventually joined the production of The Nation of Butterflies ↗, an international feature film in the United States, where I contributed as a camera assistant and actor.
Those early experiences taught me that even the most creative projects depend on planning, organization, and the ability to bring different people and resources together.
By 2020, after several years and many projects, I found myself working in a completely different environment: residential renovation services. Working directly with clients, suppliers, and field teams, I became involved in budgeting, procurement, scheduling, and project delivery. It was a practical introduction to business operations, where unexpected problems had immediate consequences and results mattered more than plans alone.
My academic path added another dimension to these experiences.
Following my growing interest in management and organizations, I enrolled in Public Administration at the University of Chile in 2022. There, I earned my academic degree in Political and Governmental Sciences with highest honors and continued my education through master's studies in Political Science.
My education broadened my understanding of political institutions, organizational structures, public policy, and the processes through which collective decisions are made. Over time, my interests expanded beyond government and public administration. I became increasingly interested not only in how organizations are designed, but in how they actually function.
Through research, consulting, and institutional projects, I worked on energy governance, environmental regulation, municipal participation, public accountability, and disaster-risk management.
2025 was a particularly intense year. I found myself working with public institutions, academic research teams, and interdisciplinary groups I would never have imagined being part of just a few years earlier. These experiences challenged me to approach problems through different perspectives, from regulation and political analysis to technical requirements and social realities.
More recently, entrepreneurship and technology have become an important part of my professional work.
This year at Start-Up Chile, I contributed to the operational systems supporting technology ventures, developing tools to organize information, monitor processes, and support decision-making. Independently, I founded Meet-U, a digital platform that I helped take from an initial concept to a functioning pilot involving hundreds of users, local communities, and businesses. At ProviWork, my most recent professional experience, I have worked on commercial development, partnerships, sales initiatives, and the planning of digital systems for managing professional services.
Looking back, I don't see these experiences as separate careers. Each introduced me to a different side of the same challenge: understanding how people, resources, information, and institutions come together to make something happen.
Today, my work combines project management, operations, business development, and institutional analysis. I bring both practical experience and academic training to organizations that need to coordinate complex work, improve how they operate, or develop projects from their earliest stages through implementation.
