1. Personal Motivation and Family Legacy. I am a Colombian economist dedicated to empowering individuals to unlock their potential, regardless of their backgrounds.

During my sixth semester of Economics, I studied alongside graduate students from major Latin American banks and multinationals who faced these challenges firsthand. Inspired by my grandfather’s escape from poverty during the Korean War and my father’s efforts to fund his education by selling newspapers, I strive to make education—and the agency it instills—accessible to all, enabling them to shape their futures.
