For her, "being part of CienciaPR fills me with satisfaction, since every task I perform contributes to the welfare of my country. One of the aspects that most motivates me to support this organization is its commitment to the development of Puerto Rico, strengthening various aspects in the field of STEM. I am always pleased to support the growth of my beloved island, and what better way to do it than in the sciences, which are my greatest passion."
