I was born in Costa Rica, recently I got married and I am in a new challenge of forming my own family. With regard to my experience with AIMS, I feel very fortunate to be able to combine my work in the firm and be able to help people throughout the region; Being able to collaborate with companies and candidates to seek better opportunities is rewarding and that gives added value to what I am passionate about what I studied and do every day.

I live only with my husband, we are not yet parents because for the moment we want to enjoy a little more as a couple, we are located in the area of Cartago is one hour from the capital San Jose, Costa Rica. I am a homebody I love to enjoy my house especially in the area that we live is rainy and a little cold weather so rest is very appropriate. However within my interests I also love when I have the opportunity to travel and experience different cultures. Either visits my own country I like to go to the beaches of Costa Rica. Our nature is a treasure that we have and one of the hobbies is also to take advantage of the local flora and fauna.

Together with my husband dinner time is the heart of our home because it is where we share our day to day and we communicate about the different situations and issues that we live in the day, besides that we like to cook together. We regularly visit our families and nephews.

Among the activities that cannot be missed is to exercise usually I go in the evenings, and weekend in the mornings. Eating healthy and exercising is an important part of my mental health.

Another of the hobbies that I like is reading, going to the theater, movies.

I consider myself a quiet person, and family. I like to share with the people I love, I value and it gives me growth, in addition to my family, my best friends are an important part of my life.
