PERSONAL PROFILE.

Punctual and organized, and a firm believer in planning before executing any project. I also believe in self-improvement through experience.  Respectful of the opinions and viewpoints of others, yet firm in my own convictions.

My aspirations are:

• To be a professional practitioner of alternative dispute resolution methods, particularly labor, commercial and investment arbitration.
• To conduct legal research on emerging areas of law and the State.
• To be a research professor at a highly prestigious university.
• To contribute to the development of arbitration in Panama.

My favorite leisure activities include hiking, swimming, going to the movies and reading, preferably on legal and/or political subjects. I enjoy conversation, especially on matters concerning the Nation-State. I enjoy spending time outdoors and with friends. I am sociable and love sharing about people’s national cultures. Non-smoker.
