Professional Experience: |
As part of my professional experience, I worked in the southern highlands of Peru creating and conducting hands-on courses in rural communities and urban centers with small to medium-sized animal producers, small owners of veterinary stores, and high school and university students. In this position, I was responsible for training activities, marketing and advertising campaigns, building new partnerships, managing budgets and producing annual goals and workplans. The majority of these activities were coordinated with non-profit organizations, such as CARE Peru, Heifer Project International, the Ministry of Agriculture, schools and universities. In the United States I worked with educational programs teaching youth and adult Hispanic populations at Durham Technical Community College in North Carolina.I was an employee of the U.S. State Department/Foreign Service Institute where I work as a Learning Consultant. Currently, I live in Antigua, Guatemala where I established my own business that provides technical services to local non-profits, rural associations and small businesses in the field of social business entrepreneur and livestock.
