<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was born and raised in Colombia, where I studied Manufacturing Engineering at the Colombian Centre of Professional Studies. Before I moved to the UK, I worked for a multinational pharmaceutical organisation.<\/p>\n
I moved to the UK in 1995 to study English, and I joined Imperial in January 1999. Since then, I have worked in the Residential Services team in different roles, working my way up to my current position as Village Manager. In this role, I am responsible for delivering high quality accommodation services to students across a cluster of halls \u2013 this is spread across six sites in the off campus village. We provide accommodation for over 1,000 students, and they are mostly first year undergraduates.<\/p>\n
I am very proud to say that I have developed my career at Imperial, where I have found a passionate and friendly environment within Campus Services and the Residential Services team. My main motivation is being able to support and lead a wonderful\u00a0team who work in halls that are away from the main South Kensington Campus. We provide an important service to students and make sure that they are living in a comfortable, safe and secure environment, which allows them to concentrate on their studies.<\/p>\n
I enjoy and get satisfaction from working with many teams in the design, construction and commissioning of the refurbishment of existing facilities within my village. I have a passion for health and safety and was recently awarded the Highly Commended award in the Provost\u2019s Awards for Excellence in Health and Safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
