Valentina Zuluaga

By major, I'm a language teacher and academic researcher, by accident, a project manager, and by nature, a backpacker throughout worldwide cultures, explorer of symbiotic relationships among species, and, certainly, a language/music/poetry/film addict; briefly, a beauty ruminator. Particularly, I've worked for 4 years in customer service and logistics roles for worldwide markets, and 4 years in project management within a US-based design agency, standing up for my dedication as a critical thinker, always mastering fresh communication practices and ensuring business reliance. Besides, I’ve always been in charge of managing teams and communicating with clients and stakeholders, therefore mediating assertive communication and setting crystal-clear expectations through all kinds of business partnerships. During my entire career, my leadership has been essential and, since this comes naturally to me, my performance has stood out for promoting and guiding collaborative work among diverse and soulful teams. I feel energized by creating genuine human connections where I can add my sense of purpose, adaptability to changing circumstances, and resourcefulness to find creative solutions. I’m a very self-driven, autonomous team player and a natural problem solver, so I am actively welcoming challenges as key opportunities to grow.
