Hobbies: Exercise at the gym and go to the beach.
Reason why I joined JICA:
When I was a little girl, I saw a bridge donated by the Government of Japan. The bridge was built due to a hurricane in 1998 (Hurricane Mitch) in a place prone to floods. So, I joined JICA because I felt I could help Nicaraguan people while working for this agency. At the same time, I was curious about the Japanese culture.
