Stefano Bravo Lopez (born 26 August, 1995) is a young university student with an entrepreneurial spirit who aims to make a difference in the world. To achieve that he is getting prepared by acquiring as much experience and knowledge so he can be able to provide job and educational opportunities to others.

Education
After being in Mexico his whole childhood, Stefano went to Oxford,UK for two years, where he got his IB diploma. Later on he decided to enroll in Erasmus University College, Rotterdam where he is studying a liberal arts and science program focusing on Economics and Business. In fall of 2016, he followed an exchange term program in Hong Kong at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Job Experience
In the fall of 2014 after graduating from high school, Bravo decided to go back to Mexico and work at Fonatur Mantenimiento. During his stay at this institution, he was appointed as the wastewater sales manager. His role demanded him a high level of collaboration with other departments as well as leadership and creativity to renovate a sector of the company that was obsolete but had a big area of opportunity.

After starting his studies in university, he set up with other students a language exchange program called Erasmus Language Sharing (ELS). The idea was to provide other students the opportunity to learn a foreign language at an affordable price with native language speakers. Stefano was in charge of the Spanish speaking program in which he not only taught but also developed all the teaching material and classes.

He currently develops as an University ambassador in which he gets appointed to do a series of tasks such as school visits across the Netherlands and internationally, experience days, "Student for a Day", just to name a few. Collaboration, organization and commitment are some of the skills an ambassador needs to have to perform his job properly.

Volunteering
In 2012, while living in the UK, Stefano was involved in a couple organizations as a volunteer like the Oxford Swans Swimming club, which is an organization that focuses on providing aquatic therapy to disabled kids. There he was a helper and had been assigned a couple kids who spent one afternoon with him a week. The other was the Oxford Boundary Brooks program of Conservation and Wildlife Management.

Personal Life
Besides being focused on his studies now, Stefano also enjoys doing other activities. In 2015 he founded the Extreme Sports association of his faculty, as a way in which he could promote different activities to the people in his university. In the summer of 2016 he got his rescue diver certification from PADI. He is fluent in English and Spanish, knows conversational Italian and is currently studying Mandarin and Dutch.
