Gabriela's story
My name is Yrma, and I am an immigrant born in Venezuela. My parents are entrepreneurs, and I have been passionate about the business world since I was a child.
In my country, I had two businesses, one of which I created while I was in college, from which I graduated. Due to the situation in my country, I emigrated to the United States, facing the challenge of starting from scratch and without any knowledge of the language, laws, or permits to start a business.
However, this was not an impediment to continuing to develop my passion for business and creating an innovative and unique company.
