Fernando Cruz

Following a rigorous selection process I was chosen as one of the one-hundred most talented students in the Universidad de Navarra, becoming a member of the program despite how recently it has occurred has allowed me to interact with driven, hard working people who strengthen my character and allow me to build long lasting relationships.

Together with three other classmates we decided to compete in the internal case competion of the Universidad de Navarra, were we underwent three rounds competing with other students until we reached the final. Over the month in which we competed I was able to learn how to work as a team in a consulting environment, I learned how to apply all the skills from the coursework of previous semesters to real-life business cases. All whilst improving my problem solving, public speaking, and presentational skills.

I was invited by the faculty of Economics of the Universidad de Navarra to join the Sapiens program, a volunteer academic program aimed to help first-year students struggling with retaining the contents of the main courses in the curriculum. I was asked to review with the students the main topics of the Principle of Macroeconomics course. I got to interact with the students, listen to their concerns, solve their doubts regarding the relevant coursework, and above all prepare them for the final exam in December.
