Global Mobility Specialist; Business Development; Immigration LATAM; Venezuelan Attorney
I was born in the North of South America, in a country with a lot of human wealth, deep moral values, and inherent empathy, to which I am grateful for everything it has given me and continues to give me. The teachings extracted from its “short history” and the events in my life have shaped me. However, as humans plan and the great architect of the Universe decides, life takes you to places beyond your comprehension to allow you to expand your mind, acquire new experiences, and grow in every way.
Today, almost unintentionally at my “young” age, I have lived in more than 4 countries, developed the ability to communicate in 3 languages, and changed my profession from an Attorney to a Global Mobility Specialist. But most importantly, when I look at my family panorama, it has become a “Universal Family,” a term I first heard in university from a memorable professor of Public International Law.
Now, I live in the United States with one brother who is a Permanent Resident in Argentina with a son from the land of Tango, another Argentine brother living in Portugal, and another Permanent Resident in Mexico with a nephew from the same land.
I also have two beautiful goddaughters from Chile, one of whom lives in Spain.
In addition, I have nieces and nephews from my partner here in the United States, and even my dear “sister-in-law,” who was born in Russia and makes the best Borscht and Tiramisú.
Ultimately, I have been blessed to have a large family I love dearly.
Despite the distance, we remain united because this diversity enriches me with cultural exchanges that often emphasize the importance of the essence of being human. Nationality, religion, or language do not set us apart but invite us to grow, exchange, and unite. Paradoxically, “nuestras diferencias nos unen.”
Although I have visited many countries and enjoyed each one, appreciating their particularities such as the art of “asado” in Argentina, “sopaipillas” in Chile, or a good ceviche in Peru, I can affirm that we are not defined by where we come from but rather by where we are.
This means that regardless of our origin or destination, international experiences develop a breadth of personal and professional understanding that encourages us to live in the present, adapting to any culture from a positive perspective and not as a challenge.
Certainly, migration processes carry a significant emotional burden, especially when they are involuntary. However, from my experience, regardless of a person’s origin, I always suggest seeing it as a current fact, taking what has been lived into account to make the most of the present.
Multiculturalism sometimes enriches us with difficult lessons, but definitively, it is a great step in growth that only those who experience it truly understand.
Moreover, learning to respect the traditions and elements of other people empathetically, as my Cuban brothers in Miami have taught me, who every day enlighten me with a different sense of life, is crucial. They’ve shown me that after love, the greatest individual value is focus and resilience.
Similarly, my Argentine family in Buenos Aires taught me that with humor, patience, and a smile, anything is possible, and my dear Chilean friends in Santiago emphasized the importance of knowing history but not letting it dictate personal development or limit entrepreneurial spirit in the face of global challenges.
That’s why today, from my heart, I embrace multiculturalism. It challenges us, takes us out of our comfort zone, entertains us, and makes us evolve.
But it also definitively fills us with much satisfaction and experience and empathetically elevates us to the most important thing we have: the fraternal love of those around us.
It invites us to connect without distinction with those we will interact with in the future.
