Estuardo Pineda Delgado MIDP’17
In every stage of his life, Estuardo Pineda has packed in a substantial amount of achievement, making big, bold decisions, and overcoming obstacles in the process. He waded through all the work and challenges confidently because he’s long believed he has a purpose in life—one that involves helping people. He shares that belief, and his vision for life, with his wife Lucia, who’s been alongside him for much of his journey to his current status as a Duke alum working for the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in Guatemala, his home country.

“Even if things don’t always happen as we want, [my wife and I] try to follow the path of our vision and purpose,” says Pineda. “Every decision we’ve made and are going to make in the future is based on that purpose.”
