  Cristina Gaviria Beltrán

  Creative Lead
  myGwork

  Cristina Gaviria Beltrán is myGwork’s creative lead artist. In her role, she oversees the visual aspects of the company. She is also dedicated to questioning non-binary visions of sexuality and intimacy in a society which often still seeks to undermine them. She celebrates the liberty of her self-exploration and experimentation and being able to work at a place like myGwork, which acts upon this in all it offers in the corporate world. Her job involves not only a practical approach to visual language, but it is also modelling the behaviour she hopes to see and taking practical steps to act upon concerns and lead transformation.

  Katherine Brizuela

  Account Development Specialist
  RebelMouse

  Curious individual—hungry for innovation. I believe in generosity, respect and continuous learning. International Business Major - Languages: Spanish/English/Mandarin. My name is Katherine, I was born on October 25, 1994 in the Republic of Panama. I was raised as the daughter of two cultures: Panamanian and Mexican. Even though I was born in Panama, I was always interested in the Asian culture. This is why when I graduated from high school at the age of 18, I decided to study my bachelor in Taiwan and learn the Mandarin as a third language. I have always found making new friends and learning Chinese outside of the classroom very exciting. There is no better experience than exploring a culture and immersing yourself in the unknown. It's the only way I can know my limits and get good memories (and who knows, good stories to tell for later on in life). My original plan was to spend 5 years in Taiwan (one year studying the language and the others my degree in Commerce and International Business). But being so immersed in Asian culture, I knew that the cherry on top of my experience was getting a job and having the experience of what it's like to work in a non-Latino work environment. I currently work in an American company called RebelMouse as an account manager. What I like the most about my job is the diversity of employees it has from different countries, cultures and backgrounds. We are one of the few companies that more than 50% are part of the LGBTQ + community. I feel grateful because since I was a child, with my curiosity and my dream of getting to know different cultures, now RebelMouse is opening those doors for me. Among my future plans are studying a Master in Innovation Technology and visit my colleagues from the company since we are all Remote Workers.
