I was born in Guadalajara and am a certified public accountant by profession, which has allowed me to develop an organized and strategic approach to every project I’ve been involved in. I began my career at companies like Pacific Star and Simple Green, where I gained valuable professional experience. Later, I got married, and my partner and I decided to move to Santiago, Chile, in search of new opportunities… Read More
During our time there, we started Mexican restaurants, bringing a little piece of our culture to another country and building a very enriching chapter in our lives, both personally and professionally.
After six years abroad, I returned to Mexico with a new perspective, and we decided to settle back in Vallarta, a place that truly has it all: a wonderful bay, surrounded by mountains, and with an essence that makes it a true paradise. It was there that we acquired the Dolphy ice cream shops, diving headfirst into the commercial and tourism sectors. I also participated in the marketing of a major project like Fluvial Vallarta, which further strengthened my experience in the field.
Over the years, I have remained in this business, always committed to my growth and constant learning, with the goal of offering better service to my clients. I firmly believe in the importance of evolving, adapting, and providing quality service, which has been key to my development.
