Katia Paredes
Project Manager
What makes you a Culturati?
Growing up in Mexicali, Mexico, a neighboring city to California, I was immersed in a bicultural environment from an early age, which ignited my passion for exploring music, food, art, and languages from around the world. I am fascinated by how language conveys ideas and influences our perceptions. My interest in cultural exploration led me to study and live in France for a few years, where I pursued both undergraduate and graduate studies. I consider myself a true Culturati, as my diverse experiences have significantly shaped my identity. Today, I am proud to embody a blend of Mexican, French, and American cultures.
How did you discover your Culturati nature?
From an early age, I’ve been deeply interested in learning about different cultures, which motivated me to pursue a degree in International Business. My passion for understanding diverse perspectives further inspired me to earn a master’s degree in philosophy and Sustainability in France. During my time abroad, I forged meaningful friendships with people from different countries including Germany, Spain, Colombia, Vietnam, Ireland, Italy, Ethiopia, and France. These relationships allowed me to see life through different lenses, highlighting both our unique differences and our shared similarities.
What type of Culturati are you?
I am a driven and analytical Culturati with a deep passion for exploring and sharing cultural insights. My passion for understanding diverse cultural perspectives and subjective experiences, combined with my ability to utilize quantitative data to identify patterns and make predictions, positions me as a well-rounded and insightful professional. As a lifelong learner, I am committed to continuously expanding my knowledge and expertise in market research and other areas.
