Congratulations Eduin ! Great work.
Application of PM Processes need to be tailored depending on your scope of work and role. I would suggest, you should start with a gap analysis on PM processes in your area and decide the next steps. Again, Congratulations of your achievement.

Great Eduin, congratulations!
Krishna's response is good. I came basically to say the same thing. You certainly do not want to come on too strong. Simply start to identify areas in need of improvement and demonstrate how what you've learned can be applied.

I found a lot of Ethics and Responsibility section from PMBOK useful to apply at workplace. Also, couple of other things to keep in mind that we learn from PMBOK and useful to follow, 1. PM has as much authority and respect as you gain. Especially on a Strong Matrix org(which is now almost everyone), you don't let lose the grip of the project, yet again, don't be too strong or too mellow that you lose the respect as a PM. 2. Risk Management, Issue Management and Integration Project Management are three great areas that you can apply at the workplace from PMBOK. 3. Roles and Responsibilities section for various types of orgs is also a good topic to apply your knowledge in executing projects. Good luck.
I like the idea of a gap analysis, but make the decision regarding whether or not to pursue one on how formal your environment is. If you compare your company's processes to the PMBOK Guide, you may find a lot of gaps. Who will make the decisions about which gaps to fill? Does that person, or group, understand the concepts and practices in the PMBOK?
It might be simpler to start with asking your sponsors and stakeholders what they need from projects that they are not currently getting. Look for ways to add value quickly, as well as long term changes. Focus on the things you can control.
