Vanessa Cadena

I am from Quito, Ecuador, and I have been passionately working with NGOs for seven years. Before joining AMIGOS, I worked as the coordinator of a community center in a development organization, where I closely collaborated with individuals in vulnerable situations. My journey with AMIGOS started in 2022 as a Gap Coordinator in Cuenca, and since then, I have taken on various roles within the organization, contributing to meaningful youth development projects. Through AMIGOS, I have witnessed firsthand how young people open their eyes and hearts to growth experiences that shape their lives.

I hold a master’s degree in International Cooperation with a specialization in project management and a certification in Nonprofit Management. I am also passionate about traveling and hiking.
