Personal Interests

I established my academic career by teaching for Anahuac University in Mexico, and I have continuously taught business courses for seven years. My mission is to help anyone I interact with, especially students, to unveil their passions and explore their life’s business goals. I enjoy playing soccer, working out, traveling, reading, and discovering new restaurants.
