Bio

I’m an experience seeker. I love living life at its fullest searching for adventures and experiences in which I can develop my abilities and skills while meeting people from all over the world, learning from other cultures and having fun while working hard. Experience has taught me the most important thing to succeed is to be fully committed to what you’re doing and be always willing to learn something new. I studied a degree in Strategic Marketing, I lived in Paris, I created a Spanish-English-French club conversation in Veracruz, I managed an amateur football team; I was selected as a volunteer for the FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014, however I couldn't attend and I regret it but I'm sure I'll be there in the next WC, I was an Haitian Olympic Committee Assistant in the XXII Central American and Caribbean Games Veracruz 2014, I was a volunteer helping poor children doing their homeworks, I was staff in congresses. My intended audience is high developed people who want to think outside the box, touch someone's heart, and obtain new ideas to transform a community into a big social network focused on help each other in fields like technology, entertainment and design.

I'm passionate about

I love walking, traveling, learning languages, football (soccer in US), cats, metal and country music. I'm trying so hard to make Veracruz and its people something that you can tell good things about it even though it is extremely difficult but not impossible. I have participated in projects about a wide range of subjects because I am curious and a polymath. I'll return living in Europe soon.

Areas of expertise

Business, Marketing, Mnemotechnics

The TED story

I'm an entrepreneur since I was a kid because I always try to make something better for my community, I want to reach all my goals even if they seem almost impossible. I know many people who have interesting things to share and inspire with others but they don't have a space to publicly show their ideas. The most important thing is that I hate Veracruz and its people so it is a pity because it is the place where I lived almost all my life and that's why I will make it better by organizing a TEDx event. That have inspired me to organize a TEDx event. My goal in hosting a TEDx LaPochota is creating my first big event in Veracruz, connecting people and adding them to my social network (the real, not only Facebook), putting my city in the place where it should be. I attended TEDxPolanco in Mexico City as a part of the staff. It was a great experience to know so many people with ideas worth spreading in one place and be involved in the logistics the day of the event.
