In the back of my mind, even when I came to the U.S., you know, I always thought about going back to Colombia to give back. But through the years, you know, just as as Destiny will have it, I mean, I came across just really, first of all, just really fascinating people, you know, that I've met through my time here that helped me paved a way to be where I am today. And that's really at the intersection of everything that I'm passionate about. And that is, you know, public service, public policy, and international commerce. And that's what led me to this new, you know not new now, been at the chamber for three years, but this gig at the chamber. you know When I started talking to the team at the chamber and learning more about their work, you know it just it was I was really intrigued by how the chamber is positioned at the intersection of public policy, international commerce, and what I like to call economic diplomacy. right I mean mean, I try to explain my job to people that, you know, they don't really they're not in our sort of industry. I tell them that we're economic ambassadors for the United States and for our member companies. And that's really how I see, you know, our role at the chamber and my role ah leading the U.S. Columbia Business Council. So explain just for people who may not know what the Chamber of Commerce is and what the U.S. Columbia Business Council is.
