Marta Carreno

Tras cursar mis estudios universitarios en San Francisco, conseguí un empleo como asistente jurídico en un conocido bufete de abogados en California. Aunque estaba contenta con mi elección de carrera y disfrutaba mucho de mi puesto, como mucha gente durante la pandemia, sentí el deseo de viajar al extranjero y explorar mi pasión por los viajes y lo que Europa tenía que ofrecer. Me convertí en Auxiliar de Conversación en 2021 en Madrid y posteriormente me enamoré de la ciudad. Ahora espero encontrar un puesto en el que demostrar mi experiencia administrativa y jurídica y mis idiomas nativos de inglés y español.
