About
I have been fully involved with Girl Scouts and stood out throughout my life for serving others. I’ve received the two highest awards that a Girl Scout could gain, the silver and gold medal. I am a staff-member of the Caribbean Girl Scouts and part of the Board of Directors of the Caribbean Girl Scouts Council as Delegate in Property. I advocated for the approval of the Senate Bill 1180 that required a registry for people diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in Puerto Rico. I defended and worked on the Act for three months and obtained an unanimous approval of the measure by the Legislative Assembly of PR. My effort was completed on July 22, 2016 when the legislation created the bill in to the Law number 85.
