Hello to all!

Well, actually I do not know how many people will read this post, but I hope to reach many ears.

I was born in Ecuador, and have lived most of my live here in Quito, the capital city.

I studied law, and have done many things in life. Have travelled extensively, specially between 1999 and 2003.

In 2004 my daughter Sofia arrived to my life, and she changed me - and my life - completely. For the best, of course.

I still enjoy traveling and meeting new friends, but must admit that I have reduced my annual trips to the minimum.

I consider myself a good person, and open minded individual, a courageous woman (as most women are), and a leader.

Of course, it is not easy to be an independent professional, a courageous woman, a single mom, and a leader, at the same time, but I manage.

This year has been tremendously difficult, but also valuable, for my personal and professional growth.

I have also developed a special like for Women issues, and the empowerment of women.

I truly believe that education makes a huge difference between empowered and non-empowered individuals, and this is even more dramatic with women.

I am happy to have joined this valuable virtual platform, and am ready to the exchange and sharing that will occur in the coming years.

Hugs from the Middle of the World, in Ecuador.
