My work life started as an international model when i left my home country Costa Rica at age 16 and moved to Sydney, Australia to begin my career. My career exploded in about 2 years and i traveled and lived in top fashion cities like Singapore,Tokyo, Milano, Hamburg, Munich, Barcelona, Madrid, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, to name a few. Very quickly i became a top commercial model making minimum 20k a month allowing me to work with top high end clients all over the world and even booking worldwide campaigns .
In the 2008 crisis i moved back home to Costa Rica and pioneered the first international model agency of the country and also a production company to go along. The model agency was called Unique Model Management and Unique Productions. We booked and signed models internationally on contracts and jobs in top cities all over the world plus we also produced catalogs, commercials, fashion shows, advertizments, interior and exterior campaigns, you name it we did it.
After 9 very successful company years i decided to close the business and change a bit my environment again and moved back to New York where i did Real Estate for Weichert Properties Manhattan for about 2 years. During that time i also took acting classes with Gary Swanson and The Montauk Group.
On 2018 i moved back to Costa Rica to set up a Retreat Business called Spirit Retreat Guancaste where we organized wellness yoga and plant medicine retreats with international shamans and yogis, the business was booming and successful but on February 2020 with the pandemic we had to close the business.
During the pandemic i took care of another Retreat "The Sacred Playground" i was in charge of their social media content, management, marketing, sales, bookings, and assisting in all ways .
After some time in July 2022 i went into a very different job position and began working in sales in a financial company , a Debt Settlement company called Loan Rate Pal where i also worked for 2 years and learned lots.
I took a training program from Kekoa Mac @The Modern Sdr to be able to go into more remote closing jobs and then landed a job as a high ticket closer for an Amazon Publishing Coaching Program which is where i have been the last 2 years.
Curently i am looking for a new role .
