Hobbies'

Beyond my professional role, I believe that self-care is essential to maintaining balance and resilience in both life and work. I enjoy cycling, swimming, and cooking—activities that refresh my spirit and help me stay grounded. I also love spending time in nature, which inspires creativity and peace of mind. DIY home decoration is another passion, as it allows me to think resourcefully and create beauty in simple ways. Coming from Guatemala, I celebrate my cultural roots through food, especially traditional dishes like Tapado, a seafood soup with green plantains. These personal interests not only bring me joy, but also reinforce the values of balance, creativity, and connection—qualities I carry into my professional practice as a nurse.
