Work Life - My first full-time job as a Food Engineer: quality analyst at a cold cuts factory. / Mi primer trabajo full time como Ingeniera en Alimentos: analista de calidad en una fábrica de fiambres. 😃❤️

<div class="text-justify"> When I pause for a moment to look back and see everything I’ve done with my life so far, I can’t believe it all happened exactly when it needed to happen. This perfect timing allowed me to go through my days calmly, doing what I wanted to do at that particular point in my story. I would say luck has always been on my side, although I don’t want to take away from my own effort and merit. Everything has always worked out that way for me, even during this past year, when I set out to find a job that would allow me to develop my professional career, <strong>and I found one much faster than I expected ❤️.</strong> <blockquote>Cuando me detengo un momento para mirar hacia atrás y ver todo lo que hice con mi vida hasta ahora, no puedo creer que todo haya sucedido cuando necesitaba que suceda. Este timing perfecto me permitió transitar mis días con calma, haciendo lo que quería hacer en ese determinado punto de mi historia. Diría que la suerte siempre me acompañó, aunque no quiero restarle importancia a mi propio esfuerzo y mérito. Para todo fue siempre así, hasta en este último año, cuando me propuse encontrar un trabajo que me permitiera desarrollar mi carrera profesional, <strong>y lo encontré mucho más rápido de lo que pensé ❤️.</strong></blockquote> --- --- <center><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23vi8P4Sje7gExiPoXStpCeUxfHX4S5jneinbHUyKdJXuCGpESpodY3HCzxNXuTmV3dh1.png" alt="$1"> </center> --- --- Ever since I was very young, I always enjoyed studying and everything related to academic life, strongly motivated by my mom’s support throughout my entire school journey. When I finished high school with my degree as a Chemical Technician, I knew very clearly that I wanted to dedicate myself to an exact science, and it didn’t take me long to choose the food science field. After researching my options, I found the Food Engineering program and started it in 2012 at the age of 17, graduating at 25 in 2019. I still remember how fulfilled I felt that day. <blockquote>Desde que era muy chica, siempre me gustó estudiar y todo lo relacionado a la vida académica, fuertemente motivada por el apoyo de mi mamá en todo mi trayecto escolar. Cuando terminé la escuela secundaria con mis estudios de Técnica Química, tuve muy claro que quería dedicarme a alguna ciencia exacta y no me costó mucho decidirme por la rama de los alimentos. Después de investigar mis opciones, encontré la carrera Ingeniería en Alimentos y la empecé en 2012 a mis 17 años, logrando recibirme a mis 25 en el año 2019. Todavía recuerdo lo realizada que me sentí ese día.</blockquote> <table> <thead> <tr><th><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23zbSCN7RVggbhJfz5aLfkK144SRJ2AwpTUvWSgmagcjBXqBETCTTS5qvPTb3waZh6WGv.jpg" alt="$1"></th><th><img src="https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lauramica/23vhunpVw558SUxphqUV1FDo1JF2VA237jgRQnKHdCWzL7xxbX3KCDTLAjbZ7fxkx253i.jpg" alt="$1"></th></tr> </thead> </table> --- Before finishing my studies, I had already completed an internship at a canned soup factory, a four-hour-a-day job that was required in order to obtain my Engineering degree, and another similar internship at a potato chips factory. After that, I continued with what I was supposed to do: looking for a full-time job. But in 2020, the pandemic began and changed everyone’s plans. It was during that same year of lockdown, while looking for ways to make money from home, that I discovered Hive. A few months later, with the earnings I had saved during the strict quarantine, I took advantage of the easing of restrictions in 2021 and invested my money in a series of trips that I shared here and that helped me generate even more income. This created a cycle of traveling that lasted until May 2025 — incredible! If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably seen some of those adventures :) <blockquote>Antes de terminar de estudiar, yo ya había hecho una pasantía en una fábrica de sop […]
