Q: What is something adventurous you’ve done that you wish you could do again?
A: Last month I went skydiving in São Paulo! Skydiving was always at the top of my bucket list, and I loved every second of it… it’s an incredible experience that I hope I live again.
Q: Who has been a role model in your life? What kind of wisdom have they shared with you?
A: My mother. She was the epitome of what we nowadays call emotional intelligence. From all the wisdom she shared with me which absolutely shaped the person I am today, there are two things that I try and practice every day: empathy and self-improvement.
Q: What is something you like to brag about when it comes to your team at KORE?
A: The synergy and the vibes! I think that more than a team, we are a community. We share the same values and have truly created a space to know each other as people beyond being colleagues. The Global Sales Operations at KORE stand by the principle of collaboration and living our motto:
Think → Improve → Support.
Q: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
A: Traveling is what I enjoy the most and that has given me the opportunity to visit many places around the world while learning about their culture and lifestyle. I would like to live somewhere in Western Europe… I have been heavily looking into Paris and Amsterdam as they both are rich in culture, art, and work-life balance.
Q: What is a recent movie you watched and loved?
A: All of Us Strangers. It was released late last year as a British romantic fantasy film based on a novel from the 80s. Definitely worth watching, especially during Pride month.
Q: How would those closest to you describe you?
A: They would describe me as curious and always eager to learn something new, whether it’s a hobby, a new city to explore, or a new cuisine. My friends and family often refer to me as genuine, positive-minded and funny (even hilarious at times). After all, I strive to live my life to the fullest and have a positive impact on those around me.
