Hello all and welcome to my first blog! My name is Paulina Amador, I am a 20 year old girl from Managua, Nicaragua and I am currently a Sophomore at St.Edward’s University majoring in Finance and minoring in Social Media Marketing. I am excited to be able to share a little bit about myself with you guys through my first blog and welcome any feedback, questions or simple comments you may want to give me while we embark on this new journey together! For starters, I would like to say, that in order for you to start and get to know me on both a personal level but most specifically, a professional one, I would like to begin with personality characteristics of mine that I consider define me very well. This will hopefully start giving you a beginning clear picture of who I am and the characteristics I pose under the professional realm of my life. First off, I consider myself as a dedicated individual who wants to give her heart out 150% on everything she does. I strive to be dedicated with everything I do and give forth the best of me in order for anything to be achieved with sincere passion and effort. Having said this, I also consider myself to be a high achiever, meaning I don’t only do what is asked from me, but more. I am not always satisfied with “just enough” rather, I consider myself to be an individual who goes above and beyond and takes that extra step that although not needed, ends up making a whole lot of a difference. On the other hand I consider myself to be an extrovert, a leader and a great contributor when working amongst people. I love talking to people, building social relations and believe that having a great social network is one of the many keys to success. Given this, I love being around other individuals and have a passion for taking the reigns of leadership whenever needed, this meaning I am not only taking upon the responsibility of leading but of also being a contributor of and with others and always being an open ear to new ideas and ways of thinking as well, all qualities I believe are necessary to be a great leader. Additionally, I am confident in what I do and greatly believe in the power I have to bring upon change with others and through others. I believe in what I do and have a passion towards it, all which aims to my confidence. Finally, I consider myself to be very consistent. Consistency is one of the many keys to success because even in the hardest moments, you need to keep on going and showing the strength you have within to achieve whatever goal you have been put forth. Now, when it comes to life experiences I’ve had that have aid into my growth as a young professional on the rise, are: Internships at Discover Real Estate and INVERCASA, two great powerful companies in my hometown, Managua, Nicaragua, that have taught me a great variety of things that have to do with real estate and the stock market. Additionally, I am a Hometown and Global Ambassador at St.Edward’s University, both jobs that have allowed me to connect with a great amount of individuals from not only Nicaragua, but all of Central America, acting as a recruiter for them to become a part of our St.Edward’s family. Finally, I would like to propose some personality characteristics that I consider make me stand out and distinguish myself from perhaps others on the field. I consider myself to be an adaptable, assertive, open-minded and disciplined individual who is ready to take on any new challenge when needed. Adaptability to new ideas, new environments, new individuals is optimal for success because the world is changing by the minute everyday! Additionally, being assertive while having an open mind for change is critical in times of crisis for example, when a decisive change in perspective makes the world of a difference. Finally, being disciplined both during challenges or not, is one of the characteristics that distinguishes me from others, and one that is needed to achieve anything great in life. Having said all this, I hope that through this blog you got to know me at least for starters on who I am and the characteristics I pose under the professional realm of my life. I look forward to sharing many new things to come with each and every one of you. Thank you for reading!
