Hoy, 20 años! Today, 20 years!

Just for pleasure or work I have had the great chance to visit more than 40 countries across the five continents. Being quite young, in 1979, I started to go abroad in order to study English. Later on, I did my Senior Year in U.S.A. at the Andover High School in Massachussets. Once back to Spain, I started my Marketing studies at a private school in Zaragoza, my home town and kept studying Internatioanl Trade, French and Italian. All this took me five years and in 1990 back again to Spain, I started to look for an interesting and good job where I could develop my studies, strenghts and potential.

Then in 1991, I contacted many companies and did many enterviews in different cities but I ended up in Zaragoza, working four years as marketing assistant at a Department Store. It was 1994 when the economic situation in Spain was weak and many companies had to shut down, mine did so I was out.

So, in 1995 I decided that I wanted to work in the international wine business. After several meetings, I moved to Vitoria to work with a group of nine wineries from Rioja Alavesa. Almost five years working, promoting, selling their wines in many countries...what an International Wine Master!

Now in 2011, I keep working in the international wine business and looking for and forward new challenges and projects.....So, today April 1st, 2011 is my 20th anniversary as a worker. For that, I congratulate myself!!

********************************************************************************
Por trabajo o por placer he tenido la gran fortuna de haber estado en más de 40 países de los 5 continentes. Esto es así porque empecé joven a salir al extranjero para aprender inglés. Luego seguiría un curso escolar (C.O.U.) en U.S.A. y de ahí en adelante dirigí mis estudios hacia "lo internacional" y el marketing. Corría 1985...y se me abrió la mente de tal manera que no lo pude (mejor, no quise) evitar.

Y así me formé en Marketing, Publicidad, Empresa, Comercio Internacional e idiomas. Una vez de regreso a España, en 1991, me puse a trabajar en el departamento de marketing de unos grandes almacenes locales, en Zaragoza, pero también llegaron momentos duros y cerraron.

Y en 1995, llegaría el Sector Vitivinícola por decisión propia. Me fui a Vitoria para trabajar en un grupo de nueve bodegas de Rioja Alavesa donde aprendí mucho del mundo del vino, fue como un Master Internacional de Vino!

Hoy 1 de abril de 2011, sigo trabajando en el sector del vino, buscando nuevos retos y proyectos. Y por eso me felicito, por cumplir 20 años como trabajadora!!
