I’m born and raised in PR, have a BA in Science-Biology, 2 years associate as a surgery technician, and worked more than 20 years in customer service. One of my passions is traveling, especially if the ocean is part of it. I got certified as a scuba diver back in 2011, and with this therapy, I have gained so many friends and memories throughout the world. In 2017 I moved to the state of Florida with my two daughters looking for a better life. Since April 2018 I started working with Carriage Services in the funeral and cemeteries industry. Over time and based on the experience I have gained; I have been able to identify that families will always need education and support to make the right decisions. I am here to answer all your questions, provide you with the necessary tools, show you our beautiful cemetery, the value, and benefits of making advance arrangements, guide you, and help you find the best solution that is within your budget. I believe that protecting your loved ones is an experience that will relieve your family at the worst moment of their life. Let me know about you, your family, and your wishes… Contact me anytime! I’ll be more than happy to help.
