“I’m originally from Cabimas, Venezuela…one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I have a law degree from the University of Zulia and have taught a variety of law courses at my alma mater. After I graduated from law school, I practiced family law. Then one summer, Johnny Thompson, who currently works in Greenhill’s Admission Department and has been a part of the Greenhill Community for almost 15 years, came to my hometown, swept me off my feet, and moved me back to Dallas in 2000. Two years later, we were blessed with two beautiful children (twins), Johnny and Jessica, who immediately changed our lives for the better! Two shih-tzus, Cacique and Coca Cola complete our family.
