“This experience gave me the opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment and take responsibility of very important tasks for the success of the conference,” she said. “I also managed their social media platforms and was able to increase the organization’s following on Instagram by 10,000 followers. I achieved this by creating quality content and contacting Venezuelan influencers to promote the conference.”

In addition to many of her accomplish during her undergraduate studies, Tejera Mora studied abroad in Florence, Italy, where she found that immersing herself in the Italian culture allowed her to appreciate the beauty of the city.

To add to her international experiences, the Venezuelan native interned in Zurich, Switzerland where she developed skills that are important and beneficial to her future career.
