Get to know me in three:

My home away from home:My home away from home is my parents’ house in Spain. I love spending my summers in Spain with my boys, enjoying family and friends, good food, and endless hours of sun.
The values that influence me:Honesty, respect for others, and commitment.
The challenge that shaped me:After college, I decided to adventure to an English-speaking country to learn English, as most of my education centered on French as a second language. My initial idea was to stay in Europe. Destiny placed in front of me the opportunity to spend a year in the US, studying abroad. Almost 20 years later, I’ve built a family here, my career, and so many great things.
