De profesión diseñadora gráfica, gran admiradora del arte en todas sus expresiones, atraída por la psicología, mi mayor virtud, la paciencia, y mi hobby más actual es la repostería de diseño.

Mis otras debilidades, son los animales, que siempre consiguen sacarme una sonrisa. Mi color preferido es el verde, mi estación del año, el otoño. El mar, la montaña, la música y el cine son mis refugios.
