"My story is a testament to the belief that it's never too late to follow your dreams"

Born into the warmth of a loving family in Costa Rica, I was the dreamer among us, harboring a silent yearning to dance—a passion dismissed by practical concerns over financial stability. My parents, envisioning a secure future for me, could not see a viable path in the arts. Being considered the silly one by my siblings,  and the conflict between my heart's desire, practicality guided my steps into the worlds of Computer Science and aviation, and led me to embrace the beauty of languages—French, English, Italian. My love for dance and languages was not merely about movement or communication but a deep-seated appreciation for the cultural tapestries they represented.
At the age of 30 I started a side dancing path that took me to stages all over the American continent, but now with the security of a more stable career.
Despite my creative inclinations, my career trajectory found me repeatedly in the role of Project Manager, a position that leveraged my patience and kindness but wasn't that appealing to me. It wasn't until recent years, working remotely to enhance efficiency for a software development company, that I found a new avenue for growth.   Through Mindvalley's AI Mastery,and my fervor of a lifelong learner, opened new doors in client creation and guidance, even as I navigated the significant challenge of working and studying with vision in only one eye, enduring ongoing medical procedures on the other.
This journey, marked by resilience and a pursuit of passion, highlights the power of perseverance and the importance of embracing one's true calling, regardless of the hurdles. My story is a testament to the belief that it's never too late to follow your dreams, to seek out the beauty in our diverse world, and to make a meaningful impact.
