First 5 years of my professional life

After receiving my professional habilitation as psychologist, I joined a prestigious group of industrial engineers at University of Chile. There, I became familiar with the ideas of thinkers such as Dreyfus, Maturana, Flores, Senge, Being familiar with the ideas of organizational thinkers, economists, industrial engineers, and psychologists I decided to pursue doctoral studies on human resource development.

In United States I joined groups of researchers in adult education, organizational development, and small business management. As a doctoral student, I received awards from USASBE and Babson College. The Kauffman Foundation financed my doctoral dissertation. Once I finished my doctoral research, I received a call from the vice minister of economy of Chile to join his team as a national coordinator of entrepreneurship public policies. After my work in the Chilean government, I was appointed as assistant professor at Universidad del Desarrollo. As an emerging scholar I received a grant from the National Science Foundation in Chile to investigate college students’ entrepreneurial intentions.
