She showed concern for the materials, and her capability of analyzing complicated cases [...] She always explained her views very concisely and gave supporting arguments that were both creative and persuasive.”-->
Bing Guo - Managerial Accounting professor

Demostrando gran autonomía para la resolución de imprevistos, y a la vez, una participación activa y colaborativa con el resto de compañeros. ”-->
