During my fourth year of university, the classes I took were crucial for my professional development. The courses allowed me to acquire essential skills and knowledge in key areas such as management, innovation, and teamwork. I learned to identify and solve problems efficiently, which prepared me to face the challenges that arise in the workforce. Furthermore, the courses provided me with tools to apply creative and innovative solutions, something I consider vital for the development of any community.
These skills and knowledge will be very valuable for the people of Rapa Nui. For example, the ability to manage projects effectively will allow me to collaborate on initiatives that promote the sustainable development of the island. The innovation and creativity I gained in my studies will enable me to propose new ideas to improve local infrastructure, such as implementing environmentally friendly technologies and promoting responsible tourism. Additionally, the teamwork and leadership skills I developed will help me coordinate community projects, involving the island's residents in initiatives that improve their quality of life while preserving their cultural identity.
