Cristina de la Uz

Whatever happens, wherever I am, success in my career will be ascertained by my effort, never by failure.

I was born and grew up in Luarca, March 20 1977, in a very close and large family.After secondary education and working as a waitress for years, I decided to carry out the most challenging project that I've ever had, running my own business with the best partner, my brother. Twelve years later I am one of those countless unemployed people of this country. Nowadays I can say that I'm a lucky person because I've always counted on the best and unconditional support, my family. Besides, I have learnt from life that bad moments must be overcome and when one door shuts,another opens.

I don't regret having got out of my business but not having enjoyed it.
