“My Education studies have allowed me to be innovative in the classroom, but also to work in different fields: as an editor, director, trainer of ICT tools and to have my own teacher training company. Additional achievements have been winning the Cayetano Excellence Award for my dedication and vocation as a teacher in a rural school, and being awarded a global scholarship on Digital Inclusion, sponsored by One Young World, 42 For Madrid, and Movistar.”

“My main achievement has been starting work in the public sector as director of an educational institution in a rural area of the Andes in La Libertad. Another achievement has been my participation in various educational training activities within the Local Education Management Unit (UGEL) my educational institution is part of, setting up a technical team to conduct training and create peer learning groups for teachers in the province where I work. Finally, yet another achievement is to continue with my postgraduate training by taking diploma courses, other courses, participating in workshops and pursuing a master’s degree at a university in Spain.”
