Bio
Camila Farina
When working for Nokia I had the pleasure and opportunity to be mentored by Diana. During my mentorship, I’ve not only learned the advanced concepts of Project Management and PMI’s methodology (which were highly applicable to my work as a PMO) but also ended up networking with a lot of good and skilled people in the project management field as I soon after joined the PMI chapter and its ongoing discussions. Sometimes we underestimate and overlook the need to have a mentor in our lives but having Diana’s hand voluntarily guiding me along the way was not only important - it was fundamental. I’m very grateful to her and all of the positive contributions that she has given me at the time!
