Could you walk me through your career path? Please start with your experiences in college, including any internships or jobs you had before your current role.
From an early age, I discovered a passion for my community and wanted to help it. I just didn't know how, which led me to pursue an internship at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico.
I'm Mexican, so I started my career in the government of Mexico. That's how I discovered how to help my community. I understood how the government works and the services it provides.
That internship eventually led me to become a diplomat. I recommend starting with an internship that follows your passion, something in line with your vision, ambitions, and aspirations. It's mostly about your environment: how you want to change it or improve yourself.
So, put the time and effort into that internship; it eventually led me to become a diplomat.
