What I am most passionate about in the world are people and the way we can make a change, the fact of thinking that together we can revolutionize our environment without a doubt I love it. That is why being able to build teams willing to break paradigms and create something different is what brings me satisfaction in every sense. Combining everyone's passions, dreams and visions to improve our world. Something that I am also passionate about is learning constantly, without a doubt understanding and applying my knowledge is a fundamental part of what I do, I like to learn from the funniest things to the most interesting ones, and try to understand their structure in general. Maybe I would say that I am passionate about growing through knowledge.

MEDU is the producer of sustainable medical apparel that innovates while protecting health professionals optimizing availability and costs. They have a series of garments that are recyclable, easy to disinfect and provide a high barrier of protection. Thanks to their fabric technology, the suits can be used for up to 50 washes without losing their properties. To achieve our goal of zero waste, we’ve built a process to understand when the product should be recycled to have a second life. To do that, they developed an app that allows to track useful life in real-time. In this case this type of equipment is very necessary for bioprotection, and there are a lot of uses. this idea starts a year ago when the pandemic hits, and the problem that is taking is reduce the solid waste that the medical industry generates, so their equipments reduce 25 kilos of garbage, give the same protection as a disposable, and also saves up to 90% of the costs to the hospitals.

Painting, very few people know my love for painting and being able to capture something that I love or that I feel. I consider that it is something I love to do but I take it as a form of personal relief in which I can express who I am. This is how I think artists do it, without a doubt they allow us to get to know them through their art and their environment, to understand their environment and try to give it a meaning.
