What piece of Mexican culture would you like to share with Germans?
The Mexican phrase: “¿Cómo que no?” We Mexicans do not know frontiers, limits, or shapes; we create solutions not for fun but by necessity. German culture is rigorous, intense, and analytic, making it a high-quality country. Still, sometimes the answer is outside the box, and this is something I believe Mexicans can do naturally. When there is no option, solution, or way to do something, we create the impossible to make it possible.

What experiences have mainly influenced you, personally and professionally?
The U curve of cultural adaptation: Everything initially felt exciting and new. The differences seemed fascinating rather than frustrating. However, the culture shock started to kick in after some months, such as language barriers and unfamiliar customs, leading to frustration. However, I gradually learnt how to enjoy the new culture, becoming more comfortable and confident. I feel at home now and look forward to the future!

I can count on great colleagues and learning experiences later in the future to allow me to thrive in hands-on work.

Find a job, work hard, keep on learning from Germany, build a future with my life- partner a family in the long term, and enjoy life.
