Some days, I amaze myself when I learn new skills or solve any type of problems. Other days, I leave my keys in the car. 

Where did you grow up and what is your favorite memory of that place?
I grew up in Ciudad Guzman Jalisco, Mexico. What I remember the most is spending time with my friends, we used to play soccer in the streets every afternoon until dark.

In school, what was your preferred subject and why?
Literacy, I discovered  all sorts of new worlds while reading and at the same time my skills were getting better. 

How do you like to spend your free time? Any hobbies of note?
Playing video-games, discovering new music or reading new things. Although I like meeting new people, most of the time I’m doing things with me.

How would you describe your current role to a child?
Sometimes people have problems that they can’t manage by themselves, that’s when they call me and we both solve those problems. I am always there to support and make them happy again.

What has been your proudest moment since joining the PT team?
Besides being able to join the PT team itself, I would say when I accomplished my first year with a wealth of experience on the system and payroll.

What is your favorite part of working for PickTrace?
The diversity we have on our team members, different cultures and ways of thinking, there is just too much we can learn from each other.
