• Education: Coming from a pastor's father. Studied Spanish Bible Institute at a very early age in her life and has continued her education throughout the years with courses and self studying of the word of God. Completed her Minister's course and received her diploma in the '90's. Secularly she studied Accounting and presently works at a Prestigious Bank.
• Experience: For over 20 years the focus of the ministry was in the music area and radio ministry. After many years in the evangelistic area, due to certain personal trials in life I was force to leave the ministry for five years. On 2005 God confirms that this ministry was not finished yet and restores my life to a higher level allowing me to write the books and share the Gospel of the Lord. Thanks to God's mercy I was annointed to Pastor on March 2013.

• What my parents think of my sermons: My mother was one of my admirers, she is now with the Lord. My dad is also a preacher and mentions his preacher kids everywhere he goes with great pride.
• What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: He is my sounding board and my biggest motivator. He loves it and also uses portions of my sermons when he preaches too...
• Best advice given to me about preaching: Stay focussed, don't be too long, make your point and most of all let the Holy Spirit guide you and use you for HIS glory. Always give God the glory. By my Mother a Godly woman who went to be with the Lord on June 22, 2008

• Hobbies: Bike Riding, writting, family gatherings, singing.
• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: I will only speak that which the Holy Spirit wants me to speak and until he allows me to speak according to HIS word and not mine.
• Something funny that happened while preaching: Microphone feedback picked up a radio wave through the speakers with a man's voice talking and I told the audience, really, that wasn't me....they all started laughing.
• What I want on my tombstone: You conquered, now you are finally home!
