"As a Costa Rican, I take great pride in acknowledging that my career is the direct outcome of social mobility. Having attended public education throughout my childhood and early adulthood, I recognize that I wouldn't be where I am today if our wonderful country didn't provide me with abundant educational opportunities. However, I am fully aware that not all Costa Ricans are as fortunate as I have been. I am committed to utilizing my privileges and acquired skills to ensure that more Costa Ricans have access to opportunities that can help them thrive.

As an advisor for foreign investment, I am delighted to serve as a conduit, highlighting the various options available to those who want to contribute to fostering social and economic growth for all Costa Ricans."
