Can you tell us a bit about your background and where you are currently working? 

Certainly! During my time at Schiller, I was deeply committed to gaining practical experience alongside my studies, as I believed it was crucial for both my career and personal growth. I began with internships at a corporate communication agency, followed by a brief stint in marketing and communications. Later, I embarked on a unique journey in the fashion world, collaborating with a Parisian designer named Juan Martín. This experience involved everything from marketing to event proposal designs for the City of Cordoba.

Today, I've been working for the past year at LVMH, a conglomerate of luxury brands that includes Loewe and Tiffany. I feel incredibly passionate about my current role, as it offers me the opportunity to immerse myself in various aspects of the luxury industry.
