This week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Joaquín López, Research Associate, based in Peru.

  • Joaquín, what motivates you – professionally and personally?

Making a positive difference, both at work and in my daily life, is important to me. Even a small contribution gives me purpose and inspires me to keep growing.

  • What does “impact” mean to you on a personal level?

Impact, for me, is about playing a part in someone’s progress or well-being. It means that what I do helps others feel recognized and empowered, and that my efforts contribute to meaningful change in their lives.

  • For me growth means… 

For me, growth is about consistently seeking new knowledge, learning from every experience, and pushing myself to achieve more in both my personal and professional life.

  • If you could get one superpower for your job, which would it be?

The ability to respond to emails with my mind, so I could handle communications quickly.

  • What do you like to do most to unwind after work?

I love going for walks along the coastal path after work. Living close to the ocean is something I truly appreciate, and spending time by the sea really helps me relax and unwind.

Thank you, Joaquín!
