Meet Camila Velez | Trade Marketing Manager & Dog Mom

We had the good fortune of connecting with Camila Velez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Camila, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
What defines success? Is it the relentless pursuit of goals, unwavering dedication, or a combination of both? For many, success is a multifaceted jewel, reflecting various aspects of life experiences, decisions, and principles. Reflecting upon my journey, I’ve found that the path to fulfillment isn’t merely about reaching a destination but more about embracing certain practices that have profoundly shaped my life.

Among these practices, one paramount factor stands out: refusing to let fear dictate actions. Fear, a constant presence on life’s journey, has the power to paralyze and obscure opportunities. Overcoming this force demands courage, determination, and a willingness to push past mental boundaries. Do “that” thing you always wanted to try even if it is with fear, just do it! Maybe it can led to discoveries you’ll never imagined.

Beyond professional triumphs and personal balance lies a principle that guides my approach: “We come to this life to be happy.” Happiness isn’t just a by product of success; it’s the guiding light illuminating life’s decisions. Prioritizing your happiness and fulfillment in every aspect has steered me through choices, relationships, and pivotal moments. The foundation of a fulfilling life lies in fostering an environment where happiness remains at the core.

Today, as I continue on this journey, I’ve found that intertwining fearlessness, balancing life’s facets, and seeking happiness can be guiding principles. These elements aren’t just individual pillars; they’re threads weaving together a tapestry of contentment and accomplishment.

Ultimately, navigating success involves a blend of courage, balance, and the pursuit of joy. As I continue on this path, I’m reminded that true success isn’t merely about reaching a destination; it’s about savoring each step of the journey, embracing challenges, and living a life with your loved ones imbued with happiness and love.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My career journey has been defined by a relentless pursuit of excellence, a commitment to driving exceptional results, and a constant push towards achieving the extraordinary. With over seven years of immersive experience in multinational companies, primarily in marketing and trade marketing, I’ve consistently strived to set new benchmarks and surpass expectations.

My professional trajectory hasn’t been without its obstacles, but these challenges have served as catalysts for growth and evolution. Overcoming them has required agility, strategic planning, and an unyielding focus on delivering results that surpass expectations. Embracing change, being adaptable, and taking calculated risks have been instrumental in steering me towards groundbreaking outcomes.

My ultimate aspiration is to be recognized as the woman who fearlessly pursued her dreams and turned them into tangible realities. I am committed to carving a path that inspires others to envision their aspirations as achievable goals and to relentlessly pursue them. I aim to leave a legacy as someone who didn’t just dream but transformed those aspirations into impactful achievements, setting an example of determination and empowerment for generations to come.

There’s a singular figure who remains the guiding light in shaping who I am today – my beloved grandma, Maria Elena. Her recent passing has only magnified the impact she had on my life and the profound lessons she imparted.

Maria Elena was more than a grandmother; she was a living embodiment of strength, resilience, and an unwavering zest for life. Her teachings weren’t confined to mere words; they were a mosaic of actions that instilled in me invaluable virtues, ones that have significantly shaped the person I have become.

Her personality transcended boundaries, teaching me not just to love life, but to embrace it with an contagious enthusiasm. She danced through life’s challenges with grace, teaching me that sometimes, the best response to adversity is to put on music and dance away the worries.

Her laughter echoed through our lives, reflecting the pure joy she embraced in every moment. My grandma showed me how to laugh with genuine delight, to find humor even amidst life’s darkest chapters, demonstrating that a heart filled with joy can endure any tempest.

Each time I hear the words, “You are just like your grandma,” I am filled with profound honor. To even be compared to her is a testament to the values and virtues she instilled in me. My life’s mission is to emulate her strength, her resilience, and the magic that emanated from her being.

In her memory, I am committed to perpetuating her legacy – to be as strong, as powerful, and as magical as she was. she will forever be the guiding star in my journey, and her teachings will continue to shape every step I take toward becoming the best version of myself.

I miss you so much it hurts abuelita.
