Organization and lead of skydiving events (Cuautla, MEXICO)
140 UDLAP students took part in 3 daily events, generating an income of 361,000MXN (25,000EUR).

I designed those first-flight events with the skydiving resort in Morelos State. After looking for sponsors, negotiating prices and organizing the full logistics, I produced a documentary video which was broadcasted on UDLAP internal TV channel.

Freedom, speed and self control are notions I have discovered thanks to free falling. It also learned me how to surpass myself in extreme situations.

My goals are also to share my passions throught events and videos, to propose my services to every company and NGO needing promotion for its brand image, and to keep jumping in the most beautiful skies of the world while traveling!
