Hi, I'm Maria
But everyone calls me Nanda :)
I was born and raised in Costa Rica, where I spent a decade as a multidisciplinary dancer at Danceworks. Moving between completely different styles of dance and competing across the United States shaped exactly who I am today: someone who is inherently creative, yet deeply analytical.
My curiosity eventually took me across continents. I've lived in Segovia, Madrid, and Boston, while studying strategy and business at IE University and Babson College. Along the way, I realized that building a business ecosystem requires the same rhythmic precision as choreography. I apply that dual lens to everything I touch, whether I'm growing tech startups like Webel and UNIT 1, closing deals as a real estate agent for Beyond Campus, or scaling .
When I'm not optimizing operations, you can usually find me at the gym, falling down a Pinterest rabbit hole, reading, doom scrolling on cute dog videos, or mapping out the next big thing I want to build.

my philosophy into action
This is where strategy meets execution. I am deeply, non-negotiably customer obsessed because I know that if you aren't building with the user at the absolute center, nothing else will follow.
Inside these folders, you won't find things done "just for the sake of doing them." You will see how I translate raw insights, data bottlenecks, and real research into built infrastructure that actually moves the needle. Every project was designed with a strategic mindset behind it to drive genuine business impact.
