Meet our Student Ambassadors

Hello everyone! I am María Cisneros, a Spanish engineer and now student in the master of Project Management. I am in Albuquerque because of Track and Field, I am a short sprinter competing with the UNM team. I have been here since August 2022 and I will have until July 2023 to go on enjoying this experience, the food, the weather and the friendly people that this city is giving me.
Regarding other hobbies in addition to Track, I love nature, and that is something that we are so lucky being in New Mexico. Consider me a travel partner! I also consider myself a very curious person, so probably I would join to any plan you offer me

Undergraduate Degree: English (International Business)
Hometown: China
Anderson Program: PMBA
I am Leo, before I came to the US, I worked in Shanghai as a sales manager in an international trade business company. I was mainly responsible for expanding markets and developing new business opportunities. My job also brought me chances to discover health care policies in different countries and understand the global health care industry. I wish to study the MBA to deepen my understanding of global health care systems and management, enhance my managerial skills, and boost our business.
I like watching movie, travelling, and boxing. I’ve been New Mexico three times before, I like here very much, it’s small and peaceful, always blue sky and sunshine days. And my mom has lived here for several years. When I decided to study in the US, Albuquerque was my first choice.
