Introduction

I am a 26-year-old professional from Ecuador with a passion for working in diverse, international environments. Having lived in New Jersey (USA), Madrid (Spain), and now Luxembourg, I have developed a global mindset and a deep appreciation for different cultures and ways of working. 

In September 2024, I moved to Luxembourg to join Ernst & Young as a Financial Auditor (Associate 1), where I’ve continued to grow both professionally and personally. Now, I am looking to take the next step in my career by transitioning into a final client environment—somewhere I can contribute meaningfully, learn continuously, and be part of a team that values collaboration and impact. I bring adaptability, curiosity, and a strong foundation in financial auditing to everything I do.
