3 - What’s the most important thing to know about you? (3 most important things, not necessarily related to work).
Curiosity: I always love learning and observing new things, trying to understand them and at the same time try to replicate them and then integrate them to my own style.
The Practice: Although some things seem almost impossible to achieve, the truth is that trying things over and over is the best formula to improve yourself. Never give up, research, study, and try everything.
Sense of humor: Be happy, be grateful, help without being asked. Do things that feed your spirit, you will see that everything will flow better when you try to be a better person every day.
