I am Claudia Castelblanco with work experience in the Third Sector, and as a volunteer in non-profit organizations, also I have been graduated in Public Accounting, specialized in International Business and Legislation. I am from Bogota, Colombia. I have lived for approximately seven years in Spain.
My focus is on collaborating and working with non-profit entities or NGOs, which is my passion. One of my longs is to serve the society with my life, occupation, and knowledge, and can together discover other ways in which we can improve the living conditions of society.
Throughout my work experience since 2006, I have been able to grow in the knowledge and management of entities from a directive and managerial vision. However, this path had a more precise and passionate approach, it was since 2015 that I had the opportunity to be part of the team of an NGO in Spain dedicated to social work at the national level, which allowed me to land my deep desires to work on behalf of disadvantaged people. At that time, I had the chance for more than 5 years to also train in subjects such as NGO Management, their legal and fiscal regime, Executive Coaching, and current social problems such as Human Trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
In addition to this, I have been able to serve in the social projects of other organizations and philanthropic missions as a volunteer in the field in different countries such as Croatia, Latvia, Sahara, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, which have allowed me to know other cultures, ways of living, of thought-forms and their social problems, as well as learning strategies to be part of the solution. I get excited to serve and contribute to the development and social welfare.
For this reason, I continue to prepare and specialize to be able to provide quality and effective support, responding to the needs and difficulties encountered in the social, economic, and legal fields. This is a challenge that can take me a lifetime, which I assume with conviction, passion, and joy.
