My current work spot, because I have a window right next to me with a great view!

The ability to help my colleagues with different topics or situations, and the knowledge that I can actually go beyond my role to make a difference in their professional and personal lives.

Fill in the blanks:

I speak 2 languages (list them!)—English and my native language, Spanish.

My favorite local saying is ______, [and it means ______, if not English].

“Mas vale pájaro en mano que 100 volando,” and it means, “It’s better to have 1 sure thing in your hands than a 100 out in the air.”

A tourist visiting my city shouldn’t miss…

“La Casona de Laly,” which is a great restaurant to get Costa Rican food and try a little bit of everything!

My coworkers would say my weirdest habit is…

Singing childhood songs when I’m working super focused…

Outside of work, I always make time for…

Going out with my husband and my dog to have some fun!

My hidden talent is…

Singing (but I don’t like to do it in public).

Closing a hire and/or a requisition makes me roar.
