What was your path to law school?
"My journey began at the university Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) in Mexico City, but it was with the Accounting and Financial Strategy Program. After a couple of semesters, I decided to start the Law program as well. Initially, I thought I could dedicate to tax practice. However, before obtaining my Law degree, I was presented with the opportunity to join a law firm specialized in insurance and reinsurance practice. That is where I discovered how interesting and complex this industry can be. Ever since, my passion for this subject has grown steadily."
