WeCareProjects is an association dedicated to creating impactful projects worldwide that help communities in need.

In 2023, I participated in one of its key projects—building essential infrastructure in Peru’s favelas. In Pamplona, near Lima, we constructed a multisport space for local children, a stark contrast to the overwhelming poverty of the area. The second week, in Cañete, our team of five built a wooden house, giving a family a home. Seeing the direct impact of our efforts was a deeply meaningful experience.

Blue Stone, a global provider of marine technical services, specializes in vessel maintenance, retrofitting, and upgrades.

During my internship, I learned about various aspects of the nautical business, gaining insights into vessel servicing, materials, techniques, and their environmental impact. I explored company day-to-day operations, attended team meetings, and researched emerging technologies in the industry.

This hands-on experience in engineering and project management ignited my love for engineering.
