Lucia Ceron - MBA Portfolio

Hello! I’m Lucia Ceron

Welcome to my portfolio website, here I want to share a little bit about me and my background in technology, business, and healthcare. I am an MBA student at University Canada West in Canada, originally from Colombia. My academic background combines a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering with a postgraduate specialization in Marketing.

After graduating, I participated in a cultural exchange program in the United States, an experience that enhanced my adaptability, independence, and communication skills. I then worked in Colombian clinics and hospitals as a Biomedical Engineer, followed by over four years as a biomedical product engineer in the southwestern region of Colombia, specializing in commercial operations for specialized medical equipment.

Currently, while pursuing my MBA, I am further strengthening my skills in:

  • Leadership
  • Business Strategy
  • Data Analysis
  • Marketing
  • E-Commerce

I am passionate about continuously learning, turning innovative ideas into action, and leading diverse teams with purpose and creativity. My goal is to integrate technology, marketing, and analytics to address real-world challenges in either the technology or healthcare industries.
