IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING

I am Belen Garcia

Mario Andretti once said, “Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek,” and I live by that motto each day. I am an individual who believes that “uniqueness” exists within each individual. I have taken the time not only to understand my surroundings, but also to find the passion for creating things that can impact other people’s lives. I believe that in order to make an impact in others one must first discover his/herself and strive to become a better version of themselves every single day. My mission in life is to hold a career position that provides me the opportunity to influence the world in an encouraging and insightful way. Thus I continue to hold comprehensive leadership and professional growth opportunities: problem solving, communicating, public speaking, team-work, and always work towards accomplishing efficiently, learning and exceeding expectations. Always striving for greatness.
