Bio

My passion lies in sports nutrition. It's not just a job; it's a calling. I enjoy it so much that I even find myself studying in this field on Saturdays and Sundays. I've worked with several first-division professional soccer teams and currently collaborate as a teaching assistant at the university in the sports nutrition course. To complement my university studies, I dedicate countless hours to training with the best in the field. I have courses in anthropometry, research, and advanced sports nutrition. I'm passionate about teaching. That's why I share high-quality content about sports nutrition on social media, where I have over half a million followers. I'm very creative and love innovation. I'd love to create a new university degree in Uruguay related to sports performance or work with a top-tier European soccer team to implement new nutritional education methodologies for athletes.

Achievements

I consider myself an entrepreneur. At 18, I secured funding to start my own business. Fortunately, it was very successful and profitable. I later sold the company. This financial security allowed me to start studying what I'm passionate about: nutrition. This is a career where salaries in my country are quite low. However, I pursued it anyway. I dedicated a lot of effort and started another venture: my personal brand. I've become an entrepreneur myself. On social media, I have videos with over 6 million views where I teach about sports nutrition. Other accomplishments include working with professional soccer teams, holding various certifications in sports nutrition, and being a teaching assistant. I was also a confirmation guide for a group of Catholic youth. Additionally, I was involved in organizing several volunteer groups. I also led a team of 15 employees at a company I worked for. I wasn't just the boss; they recognized me as their leader.
