Meet Kareen Elizabeth Araneda
Googler, Data Center Technician at Quilicura Data Center
Kareen Elizabeth Araneda grew up in Chile and loves her beautiful country and its beaches, forests, and mountains. They are all near Quilicura, Chile, which is home to one of our Google data centers and is on the outskirts of Santiago. It is also where Kareen has worked since 2017, currently serving as a data center technician.
A love for the beauty of her home country has given her an appreciation for travel to other places in the world, most recently Japan and the United States. And during her tenure at Google Data Centers, she has had the opportunity to participate in a bungee assignment, which is a short-term development opportunity open to Googlers to learn a new skill and role. During the assignment she worked as a technical program manager and is grateful for the opportunity she had to learn from exceptionally smart people.
Additionally, Kareen not only loves the beauty of her country and the world. She also values the opportunities Google provides to make her community even more lovely. She helped plant trees for the Urban Forest to help reduce the pollution in Santiago. She also has helped assist with graduations for mothers and girls from underinvested communities to ensure they have an opportunity to learn something meaningful and grow.

[During my bungee assignment as a technical program manager] I learned about perseverance, having different perspectives, thinking positively, and that sometimes [it] is hard to make decisions. Sometimes you have to be clear, concise, and demanding in order to get results if you are leading a project.
[At Google] I enjoy promoting the sharing of knowledge, and I really love when I can share what I know, [and I appreciate] being heard and being included, and knowing that I can bring something valuable to any discussion.
