She was in charge of groups as large as 45 people and lead tours all the way from Tangiers, Morocco to Athens,Greece. After her time in Madrid she decided to further her studies and received a dual Masters degree from the University of Miami – MS International Business/MBA – where she was awarded the Javier Cuellar Black & Decker Scholarship.
