I enjoy traveling to relaxing destinations. Travel for me is essential to my life, as it allows me to connect with others, and with myself. I love nature, and I’ve seen some of the most gorgeous places in the Americas. One of my bucket list items is to visit all 7 World Wonders – so far, I’ve seen three, Machu Picchu, Jesucristo Redentor, and Chichen Itza.

I also love hosting social gatherings at my home. I recently hosted an Easter Brunch with 50 of my friends and family members. I look forward to hosting more as I build my family.

Another passion of mine is home improvement projects, and having an older home allows me to be creative and fix it up just how I want to.

I have a core family that includes my mom, my brother and two best friends. These four are the most important people in my life. We speak frequently and support each other on so many levels. I speak with my mom daily and I see her almost daily. Since moving to the US, these people have been the foundation for my personal and professional growth. My two best friends have been in my life for over 20 years.

Beyond this core group, I have a large network of friends who I connect with on an ongoing basis. My work friends have been there for me on many important milestones, like when I bought my house, and now they are fully invested in my parenthood journey.

Outside of work, I have friends whom I’ve known for many years here in Florida, and I also have friends in Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, UK, Philippines, and all around the US. I have forged many relationships as I’ve travelled and stay in contact with them.

Because of my job, and the philanthropy work that I do, I’ve also met some public figures and change makers that enrich my life so much.

I was born and raised in Peru, and I moved to the US at age 19. I’ve always stayed connected to my Peruvian heritage, but even more so in recent years. My mom, my brother and I speak Spanish to each other, and enjoy local Peruvian restaurants. I travel to Peru at least once a year for some philanthropic work.

I was raised Roman Catholic, and I’ve continued living in faith into my adult years and I intend to raise my children in the Catholic church, however, I have met incredible people from all over the world, from different cultures, different customs, who speak different languages, and worship differently. And each of these people have enriched my life in some way.
