I was born in Venezuela which makes me bilingual. I live with my husband and daughter. I love to draw, photography, bake and paint. I like to go on hikes and get lost with nature. I love life, laughter, traveling. Making people smile is one of my favorites. I’m an honest soul. I have received two individual recognition awards at DH. I like to help everyone. I am told that I am a ray of sunshine with a big heart. I am responsible, dedicated and not afraid to get my hands dirty. I am not afraid to learn new tasks. I am a motivated soul. My smile is contagious.
