“As a Systems Engineer and Data Analyst, I’ve always believed that
technology and information, when used ethically and purposefully, can
empower people and drive development,” explains Carolina Rengifo, an
Online Volunteer with FAO Peru.
Carolina designed and maintained a user-friendly, informative website
to communicate FAO Peru’s initiatives to a wide audience. She focused
on clear structure, easy navigation and accessibility. “What I enjoyed
the most was knowing that my work had purpose beyond aesthetics.
Every design decision I made contributed to better communication of
important issues like food security, sustainable agriculture and rural
development.”
One of the most memorable moments was when the site went live.
“Seeing the platform fully functional and being used by people across
different countries was incredibly fulfilling. What made it unforgettable
was the feedback we received: colleagues mentioned how easy it was to
find key resources.”
The experience also reshaped Carolina’s perspective. She now seeks
work that creates impact, encourages connection and contributes to
something greater. “It reinforced values that are now central to how I
live and work: empathy, service and a commitment to creating positive
change.”
