Alfonso Balderas Torres

About

I am a responsible and productive person. I enjoy teamwork because I can learn and teach what I have learned. I like to grow as the company does, innovating and contributing ideas that drive the growth of the company. I am a person who does not know what limit means. I believe that being a deaf person does not prevent me from working at the same level as a hearing person.
