Educator/Teacher, Engineer, Entrepreneur, Parent

Three years ago, three friends and I started a company named Wagát Upcycling Lab. We all have many years of experience in the corporate world. We have worked in several well renowned multinational corporations in different areas such as production, procurement, logistics, recruitment, marketing, retail, among others. We decided we needed a change. We also wanted to make a change in the world. We wanted to do well by doing good. So we started looking for ways to accomplish our goal and this is how we stumbled upon Precious Plastic. I started my education at the University of Costa Rica, got married midway through my studies, and moved to Chicago. This is where I finished my BS in Industrial Engineering. I have been a full-time mom for my two daughters since they were born. Until we started this company and recently in January 2020, I started teaching Spanish in a school in Chicago. I have always had an interest in recycling and helping conserve our planet. I have helped develop several recycling programs in Costa Rica. I use as little plastic as possible, try to reuse as much as I can.
