I was born and raised in Colombia, South America. I came to America approximately eleven-years with not knowing anybody here and not knowing the language. I took the risk because I thought I would have better life here, better opportunities and better chances to help my family back in Colombia.
In the first year I taught myself to speak English and while I was working as a babysitter I meet a family that helped me to find another job where they thought I will have a better chance to grow and move on with my career. The next year I was working as a bookkeeper in a family business in Huntington Beach and from there I became the Office Manager. Without speaking proper English still but they trusted me and saw my potential. Five years later I wanted to move on and create a better life for myself so I put myself into college. After college I got another job as an Accountant worked with them full time for another 6 years and part-time as a Notary Public. Right now I work full-time as a Beachbody Coach and part-time as an Accountant and Notary Public, and I enjoy life!
My time is my own, I get to do the things that I love and these are some of the things that I enjoy doing and are hi-lights in my life agenda; spending time with my 7 years old Cocker Spaniel, as well as taking her for walks at the dog beach. Spending time with friends, loved ones, hiking, running marathons, cycling, salsa dancing, photography and now I have more time to travel.
September 24, 2010 I became an American citizen! I was so excited about this because it allowed me to finally go home to Colombia to see my family for the first time in 11 years! Thanks to my life as a full-time Beachbody Coach I was able to go for 2 months and not have to worry about vacation time or limiting my visit because of a job!
Even with my busy life style, I still always make time for working out and help other to reach their fitness goal because is part of who I am. I found Beachbody back in 2007 and got great results with the products and I have been living the Beachbody style every since. I don't mind working out at 4:00 AM or late at night. The adrenaline during and after working out is phenomenal. I invite you to try it out and I know you will become addicted!!! Make this gift of health in mind and body the most important choice for your life and your loved ones!
