“I feel honored and proud of having the opportunity to collaborate at the #FMOS2024 conference hosted by the American Institute of Applied Sciences in Switzerland! I participated as a Scientific Member and as the Chair of the Science and Research Session. I was impressed with the quality of the research presentations, the time management, and the organization of the event. The FMOS 2024 conference is an academic space to share border research with a multidisciplinary and international scope in Finance, Marketing, and Sustainable Business Operations. Everytime that I have the opportunity of participating in this type of events, I feel grateful, inspired, and supported by the institutions that trusted in me before being here representing them. In particular, I feel thankful with my Mexico-U.S. border region, my Juaritos, Las Cruces, and El Pasito. Also with my beautiful Boat (Steamboat)!!
I am a firm believer and feel committed to inspiring and representing the group of the population that looks like me in data science, economics, and business disciplines. Some consider us minorities, but I consider ourselves plurality groups in these areas of research. Because we are more than that in the international space!! Knowledge sharing and international collaboration are key components in the economic development of countries and regions and the human capital formation.”
