"This time I will tell you about my experience as a student of Agro-industrial Engineering and Agro-Business. To begin with, choosing the Engineering career was a challenge, but at the same time, one of the most satisfying decisions of my life, since as I went along I felt I wanted to learn more and more about why things and, without realizing it, my stage as a college student was already coming to an end. This whole journey as an engineering student awakened in me that curious and researching side, and it is just that spark that drove me and provided the opportunity to participate together with my teachers in a research, contributing in a chapter of the book IntechOpen, concerning the nutritional value and bioactive compounds of quinoa. I can say it was a feeling and experience of total joy. With every finding I found I knew I could still learn more. Each teacher's knowledge and skills have been valuable tools in my contribution. Finally, researching and learning something new is one of the things I love my career for."
"At San Ignacio University in Loyola I was able to strengthen and acquire new knowledge. In addition, I was able to fulfill one of my objectives by researching edible coating based on thermoplastic starch in broccoli to extend its shelf life and increase its bioactive compounds such as sulforaphane, with the support of teacher Alejandro Marzano. The curricular mesh of my career, provided by the university, allowed me to perform very well in my working environment, since each course provides essential knowledge for optimal professional development and, in addition, allows us to develop in a practical way the laboratories in the pilot plant located in Pachacamac, where I could apply my theoretical knowledge together with the support of teachers highly specialized in the food sector.
My goal is to be a researcher and develop new techniques in the food industry, generating nutritious products and added value. Currently, I perform as a pre-professional practitioner in the R&D area in Ajinomoto."
