The Featured Employees’ Q&A
What did you want to be when you were a kid?
First, I wanted to be an air flight attendant to be able to travel all over the world. Then, when the preschool bus would leave me at my mother’s kinder garden, I wanted to work at an office to have a lot of papers to sort off.
How would your friends describe you?
They would say I’m a very happy person, caring and a very good friend. I enjoy life and laugh about almost everything.
What are your hobbies?
My main hobby is traveling. I try to go on a motorcycle trip with my husband to different Colombian towns at least every week. And once a year, I take a long vacation to visit a new part of the world. I also do scuba diving and have been around the world underwater, seeing places such as Egypt and Australia, and nearby countries such as Honduras, Belize, and Ecuador. Colombia diving sites are all on my done list. Besides this, I like to exercise a lot, every day I wake up early and do my work out.

Christmas eve. It is the most important family day. We all gather, aunts, uncles, cousins, and everybody. We are more than 50 people at my grandma’s house.
