From the moment I discovered the transformative power of technology, it reshaped my world. It was technology that gave me the tools to keep learning independently, sparking a curiosity that led me to my entrepreneurial paths. I wasn’t meant to follow this path, but this self-driven exploration through technology was the catalyst for my first project . Today, as I reflect on the limitless possibilities that high-tech entrepreneurs have unlocked, I’m still inspired by their innovations and the potential that they offer.

My early partnership with Google for Nonprofits ( Google Grants at this time) was a defining moment, offering me optimism and the necessary empowerment to approach any challenges. From this starting point everything became clear.

I firmly believe that the challenges we face today should not be seen as obstacles, but as gateways to future opportunities. This perspective encourages us to approach problems with optimism and innovation, seeing them as catalysts for growth and advancement. As an advocate of technological learning as an essential tool for empowerment, I am convinced of the immense potential that technology offer for individual and collective advancements. The synergy of technology and creativity is essential to effectively tackle these pressing issues. My approach is resolutely focused on quality education, which I see as fundamental to shaping a world where every individual can succeed through knowledge and innovation.

Moving forward and through all my activities, I am driven to democratizing STEAM education for a wide audience. At the heart of this mission is my belief that creativity, technology and storytelling are essential to shaping a better world. With My social venture and My nonprofit, I aim to use the power of wonder and imagination to inspire, educate and empower kids and grownups. My commitment has extended to high-impact projects such as training entrepreneurs with Social Builder and promoting educational initiatives with Dyslexia and Literacy International at UNESCO. In this journey, social entrepreneurship and philanthropy emerge as essential catalysts, enabling me to extend my reach and impact to the most vulnerable segments of society, thereby amplifying my efforts to create a fairer world.

From now on and in the future, I am committed to continuing to create a world where quality education and equal opportunities are available to all. I will continue to harness the power of technology, intending to foster a world where everyone embarks on the ‘grand voyage’ of lifelong learning.

Sincerely,
