I embarked on my career with a part-time role at Taboga Express, where I helped transport passengers to the picturesque destinations of the Pacific Panamanian coast. My dedication led to nearly 3-4 years of continuous professional service with them. Concurrently, I worked as a cadet at Interoceanic Shipping Supplies, specializing in hydrocarbon transfers in Panama’s Pacific Bay. This dual commitment allowed me to develop a well-rounded skill set and deep industry knowledge.

After a brief pause to reflect and learn, I joined SGS, a globally recognized company specializing in marine surveys. This transformative experience further fueled my love for the maritime industry. At SGS, I had the privilege of participating in surveys of vessels, enhancing my problem-solving skills and my ability to communicate effectively with clients and colleagues.
