Lisette is one of the most personable people you will ever meet. From my initial inquiry to my arrival in Madrid, even to this day, she has been there as a plentiful resource and a positive influence.

Note from the Founder

Amanda P. Columbia University

I started PINC because I lived this experience! I'm passionate about supporting young women professionally and personally. And finally, PINC is my passion because I believe empowering and educating young women on an international level is the key to building confident and innovative leaders of the future! Our mission is to help bridge the gender gap by giving young women a competitive edge on their resume with international experience. I hope you take this journey with me... -Lisette Miranda, PINC International CEO & Founder
