I was born and raised in the midst of many benefits, not only economic but also cultural and social. My reality was very different from the majority of people in my country, who at that time, were going through an economic crisis, recession, poverty and terrorism.

I didn’t have a typical childhood, the horses captured my attention until much of my youth. Sport, discipline, competition and love for animals began to form my character. Experiences that today I would not change if I had the opportunity.

However, life taught me that what really matters can not be calculated. My parents divorced when I turned 13, my father's business was seriously affected by the bombs that destroyed the shopping center where he was located. My father lost everything, but he never gave up and that example is now part of my personal assets.

Professionally, I studied Business Administration at a recognized university in my country. I successfully ran an important textile company for more than 8 years, I met wonderful people there, friends, colleagues and teachers. Then I looked for new directions in the marketing area and for the last 5 years I have put all my energy and creativity in digital communication and engagement both internally and externally. I truly believe in communication as a force that transforms, changes directions and modifies behaviors in a positive way.

Personally, I got married and formed a very close family. Together we overcome important obstacles, my husband lost the colon after 15 years of a terrible disease that put his health at risk. The maturity, sensitivity and integrity of my two children are the reward that life has given me and what I value most.

After all life is a race of resistance, who achieves success is not one who does not fall but one who learns to get up as many times as necessary. Crying, feeling, sharing, fighting, making sacrifices with conviction and attitude already makes us successful.
