Working in India in 2010, I had my first encounter with extreme poverty and realized women and children were the first ones hit most with no access to basic hygiene. The story repeated itself almost everywhere I traveled to, to different degrees, with the same observation of disparities and women often being the most vulnerable.

While I was always very keen to join the Non-governmental world, I followed a career in Purchasing and Procurement and continued traveling and living in different countries. Fast forward in 2017, working for a well-known company manufacturing pads and nappies in Chile, South America, I realized how much waste this industry was responsible for.

Then in 2020, I launched Bimba making period underwear and selling in Chile as a side hustle. Due to health reasons, I had to close it down quickly after its first launch. In October 2023, after years in the corporate world, I finally decided to quit everything to follow my dream to re-launch Bimba Underwear and hopefully impact the world positively.
