Education:
In 2015 I obtained my Master’s degree in International Business Management from Toulouse Business School (Former Grand École Supérieure de Commerce de Toulouse). This high quality institution is ranked within top 10 France and Top 50 European Business Schools.

In 2014 I finished my Bachelor’s degree of Management Studies (BMS) at University de los Andes, Colombia. Which is the Top 1 University in the country. My emphasis was on public administration and my thesis topic was: “Informal mining industry in Afro-descendant Collective territories. The case of Chocó region in Colombia”.

In addition, I did a 1 year extension course on Economic and Social Development at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Development Studies (CIDER) in the same University.

As a result of my high academic performance at University de los Andes, plus my fluency in 3 different languages. I was entitled to get a 90% scholarship to join the dual degree program with Toulouse Business School. That's how I was able to finance my Master's degree in France.
