About Miriam Castillo

I am a self‑driven person, inspired by Ikigai and the Japanese spirit of Sanji, with a passion for Humanitarian Engineering. I bring a unique balance of being a hands‑on doer and a lifelong learner. My curiosity has led me to gain experience across diverse domains, including digital marketing, recruitment, and event coordination. I thrive in roles where learning, problem‑solving, and impact intersect. Currently, I am strengthening my AI skills, exploring python, and expanding my Supply chain expertise in Business Intelligence, with the goal of creating meaningful, data‑driven solutions.
