About me

I'm driven by data and its ability to uncover patterns, challenge assumptions, and enable better business decisions.

My background combines international business education with hands-on finance and analytics experience. I focus on translating complex data into clear, actionable insights — and I'm particularly interested in how analytics and AI enhance financial management and strategic planning.

Currently pursuing my Master's at IE University Madrid, open to roles in Finance, Controlling or Strategy within dynamic, international organizations.
