What does the pursuit of perfection mean to you?
It means to never ever give up working on becoming the best version of you possible. Envision greatness for yourself in the areas that mean THE most to you and then work toward those goals each day. Nothing worth having ever comes easy or quickly so the pursuit of perfection is so much sweeter when it comes to fruition.
What are you most passionate about?
I have been told I am a fashionista as well as a passionista. To me, al life without passion is not a life worth living. My zeal for living life to the fullest with my family and friends and spreading the joy of helping others is of paramount importance. Having a son two and a half years ago unearthed a passion that only mothers can know and experience.
What keeps you moving forward?
In Puerto Rico, we have a saying of "Siempre pa'lante", which literally means, "Always forward". It can be taken in various ways, but I was taught that no matter how much adversity or how many obstacles stand in my way, watch me bulldoze right through them. My beautiful family, faith and love of my legal career propel me forward each day.
What is the main quality that defines leadership?
I believe that the main quality that defines leadership is true passion. While humility and integrity are absolutely key components to leadership, a true leader embodies, and is emboldened by, passion in his or her chosen path. No one follows a person who meanders with mediocrity.
