Giovanni Fortes
Student Advisor
The search for better perspectives in life and the ambition for a more promising future at a professional level took me to cross the ocean and embark on one of the most exciting adventures of my life. I became a citizen of the world after living 11 years in England in a multicultural society. As a student worker, such experience made him acquire independence, autonomy and the ability to face any challenge. I graduated in Business Management with a Master in Oil and Gas Management. With my experience, we will find the key to your success!
