Accomplishments
During my role as a Facilitator of "Body Expression" for the "Cecrea" program of the Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage, I carried out the dance project "Speaking with the Body."
As a result of this project, two dance shows were created and co-designed with the children participating in the program. The performances were "Alicia in Cecrea Land," premiered in December 2023, and "Encanto," premiered in November 2024. Both plays were performed twice by the cast of kids between the ages of 7 and 12, and had a huge success in the community, having a full house in each performance.
In September 2024, I was awarded the "Outstanding Artists" scholarship by the Regional Government of Atacama. This international specialization scholarship allowed me to travel to Croatia during November and December to attend intensive ballet classes at Danzart Studio Zagreb, under the direction of Irene Kuzatko.

painting and drawing, astronomy and astrophysics, literature
Among my many interests, I highlight the ones mentioned as activities I have developed over time. I have an extensive art portfolio featuring watercolor and acrylic paintings, as well as charcoal drawings. As part of my work with the Cecrea program, I have facilitated art workshops, teaching children drawing and painting techniques.
On the other hand, my interest in science has led me to take short specialization courses in astronomy, and I have also developed workshops on these topics.
As for literature, it is a hobby I greatly enjoy. Reading, in particular, is a highly valuable practice due to its many cognitive and creative benefits. It is a tool that always provides new perspectives and knowledge.
Additional Information
I am passionate about contributing to meaningful projects that foster creativity, growth, and innovation. With my diverse skill set, dedication to excellence, and ability to adapt to new challenges, I am eager to bring value to any organization I work for, and I very much look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your team's success and continue my professional growth.
