Her multicultural experience, gained from living in different countries, has allowed her to develop unique empathy and a deep understanding of the diverse communities that make up Miami-Dade. During our conversation, the mayor shared that her personal story has been fundamental to her career: “My story is what motivates me for the future,” she affirmed.
