Cristobal bahamonde padilla

   I am an enthusiastic learner, I have been traveling for around 7 years since 2016, living in Australia for about 4 years in total and visiting many places in Asia, trying to experience as best as I can an authentic experience and doing what I like the most in my free time as it is climbing. I am curious person, constantly reading new books and exploring new places, watching and trying to understand the connections between things. Currently I am studying a master in natural resource engineering. After a long time without working as a professional I wanted to get back in my professional career but in a different scope  as it is environmental engineering.

    I have developed fluent English in Australia, just the experience of having to immerse myself in this environment, working and living in an English speaking country allowed me to develop the language.

     Back in Chile I worked in Finance, first year implementing a new billing software to every site of the company, traveling through Chile to train and giving access to this new platform to the users responsible for this process. In parallel to that I was constantly working with IT, Finance and the department of projects to fix any error in the system or in the already implemented processes.

  My second year at Sodexo, I work directly in  the Financial department, looking after the data of the sites and working on the forecast and budgets of the cost centers of the company.

   After those two years working in Sodexo, I moved to Australia where I worked in many different areas, doing mostly construction and gardening, working on formwork, carpentry, leveling, general labor duties, landscaping and even working as rope access technician. I am a nature lover and due the same, I like to spend time outdoors, being one of my passions rock climbing, which I have been doing for about 9 years. 

I got my PADI license in Indonesia and got my advanced course in the Philippines. I have done 10 dives at the moment and am keen to try again such a wonderful and unique experience. I am a person who likes challenges and would love to sum up more experiences that allow me to improve my skills in different fields.

I am a positive person, proactive and a team work player.
