Viviana Jiménez de Suárez

Viviana Jimenez de Suarez, more commonly known as Vivi de Suarez, I was born in the city of Guaranda on January 30, I grew up all my life in Quito, I met the Lord at an early age in my childhood, and when I was 15 years old I began to serve the Lord in the church and teaching with the children of the Sunday School, I studied to be a high school teacher and started working at the International Alliance Academy as a second language teacher in Spanish, I was at the Alliance Academy for 25 years, from 1995 to 2020, during this time I developed activities apart from teaching, I developed projects to raise funds as part of the teaching of a financial culture. The last years at the Alliance Academy I served as a rector of the national system of the Alliance Academy, I learned many skills in terms of administration and development of administrative activities. Currently I have a Master’s degree in Education.
When I left this Institution, I got involved with the project of the Bridges Foundation, whose main goal is that young adults coming from orphanages can study in Higher Education Institutions; and in this way provide them with tools to achieve a better future in their lives.
I am married to Gonzalo Suàrez, who works as a Pastor and Dr. Clinical Psychology, we have two beautiful children, Esteban who is currently working and is already forming his own family, Stephy who is finishing his career in Physiotherapy.
