I’ve been part of the Microsoft Dynamics ecosystem for over 25 years, and I’m still learning something new every day. I’ve always enjoyed exploring new technologies, tackling new challenges, and learning from the people I meet along the way.

Being part of the Dynamics community means a lot to me. I love sharing what I learn, exchanging ideas, and learning from others. Speaking at community events in both Spanish and English has given me the opportunity to connect with people who share my passion for technology and give back to a community that has given me so much.

My main technical interests are Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, integrations across the Dynamics ecosystem, and the ways AI will transform both these solutions and how we work with them. I’m excited to explore the possibilities this evolution brings and share experiences and insights that other professionals can put into practice in their day-to-day work.

As a woman who has spent over 25 years in technology, I also believe in the importance of making our industry more diverse and inclusive. I’m particularly passionate about encouraging girls and young women to explore technology, discover their potential, and see the many opportunities a career in tech can offer.

For me, being part of this community is about much more than technology. It’s about people, shared experiences, continuous learning, and helping each other grow.
