I was born in Panama and I started my legal career in 2011.

I graduate from the Universidad Católica Santa María la Antigua (USMA) in Panama were I earned my Degree in Law and Political Science.

During the five years that I studied to earn my law degree, I worked as legal assistant in a law firm Panama assisting lawyers in different areas of law, helping me to get a head start in my career.

In 2012, I completed graduate studies with a Master in Commercial Law, also from the Universidad Católica Santa Maria La Antigua (USMA) in Panama.

In 2013, I obtained an LL.M. in Law and Management from the Instituto International de Derecho y Empresas (INIDEM Business-Law School), in Panama and Costa Rica.

In 2013, I also completed a program for lawyers named “DANA” earning a Diploma in Business Administration for Lawyers at INCAE Business School, in Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

In 2014, I was awarded a scholarship and I travel to Madrid, Spain for 10 months to earn an MBA at Unir Business School, Universidad Internacional de La Rioja.

I never interrupted my law career. During all post-graduate studies, I continued the practice of law.

I am a currently a member of the International Bar Association (IBA) and of the National Bar Association of Panama.
