Las Vegas Nevada & Fort Lauderdale, FL
I was born in Bogota, Colombia, where at 11 months, I was adopted by a radio talk show host and a British doctor. I was brought to New York City where I grew up on on the Upper West Side and Upper East Side.
I started my professional career on Wall Street. I worked as an editor for several online newspapers. As an amazing experience as this job was, I wanted and needed more interaction with people. I started a job as an office manager for a day trading firm. After two years I was sent, by the same firm, to the Mercantile Exchange to help open a day trading firm. I was one of very few women at The Mercantile Exchange. I excelled at maintaining member accounts and bringing in new business. I was 27, had a beautiful office view, facing the Hudson River and one day, I realized that I wanted to learn more, and I wanted to learn from more of a creative stand point. I opened my own event planning company and pursued this for 10 years. It was everything I wanted and more! However, having been in New York City all my life, I wanted to experience another way of living. I ended up moving to Las Vegas NV. I believed Besides having to learn how to drive, one way is to put ourselves in an uncomfortable situation. I quickly went into the banking world for three years and then landed a job in workers' compensation, which led to a job in the construction world. I was controller of large construction company with subsidiary companies. I had the unimaginable opportunity to be exposed to a person who ended up becoming my mentor and someone who helped me come out of my shell.
I feel like I have been so lucky to have had all the opportunities that I have been exposed to in my professional career. When you come to that mid-life crossroad, I strongly believe we need to charge towards that fear and make it happen!
