My children, they represent children and young people who today need the best tools to go out and build something better and bigger for everyone. It inspires me to observe, understand the needs, and know that we can all do something if we are intentional and collaborate, we can really transform realidades.

My grandfather, a doctor who decided to understand and serve the poor, the less privileged people. Another relationship that positively influenced my life was with my mentor John Maxwell, who believed in me, in my vision and became my ally in everything we do in my country.
