Lucas Peirano

Change Agent, Christian, Student

I am 19 years old and I am an Economics and Administration student at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. I am known for being a cheerful person with a strong interest in continuous learning, always seeking to grow both personally and academically. I am currently in a stage of training and discovery within my degree program. Although I am particularly attracted to the financial area, I understand that I am still learning and developing, so I keep an open mind to the different areas that the discipline offers. I greatly value the balance between study and personal life. I love having hobbies and spending time with my family and friends, as I believe these activities are essential for maintaining motivation and well-being. Looking ahead to this year, one of my main goals is to successfully carry out the projects I have with the UC Economics and Administration Student Center, where I currently serve as Deputy Secretary, actively contributing to teamwork and the development of the student community.

To be honest, all my life I have been someone who likes to work on projects that excite me, allow me to serve others, and challenge me intellectually. I am motivated by constantly learning, expanding my knowledge, and continuously stimulating my thinking. I was recently elected as a representative of the Economics and Administration Student Council at the Pontifical Catholic University, a role that carries great responsibility but also gives me the opportunity to lead impactful initiatives, such as organizing TED talks. Also, what motivates me most is not standing out, but feeling that my time is meaningful. I am motivated to cultivate hobbies; at this stage of my life, I deeply enjoy being a DJ, an activity to which I devote much of my free time to continue learning and connecting with music. I find it impactful to understand that life is not only about work and success, but also about having new experiences and constant learning.

Why making mistakes when you're young can be an advantage: Early mistakes are not failures, but rather a source of accelerated learning that, when used wisely, can become a long-term advantage.

Something that many people don't know about me is that I have a strong interest and skill in DJing. Over the last two years, I have had the opportunity to learn how to mix music using the controller I have at home, which has allowed me to develop technique, musical ear, and confidence behind the console. In addition, I decided to further this interest by taking classes at the DJ School in Santiago, where I have been able to perfect my knowledge and professionalize my musical skills. Recently, I have begun to make myself better known in the public sphere, participating and playing at different events, which has been a very enriching experience.
