I am very proud to be included in such a wonderful group of Professional Women! As a woman who has spent her entire career in the region dominated by Latin American men, as many of my WAWA colleagues, I think it is important that all of us present a united front and serve as an example for the next and young women to enter in our industry. The camaraderie and the support of other professional women is undoubtedly at the forefront of our society today. Thank you WAWA!
It is important because women in the industry are a power. Because we HAVE to have an organization that supports us more. Being part of this organization makes me feel proud of my professional career and happy to be part of this wonderful group.
