During my high school years I participated in a girl scouts group, that taught me the basic skills of camping.
After my bachelors I worked on a landscape architecture firm, where I learned the basics of gardening. And then I worked in a the National Palace of Guatemala, directing a group of more than 50 people doing works of restoration in it.
