Bio
Pedro Lozano
Amanda is the best example of courage, passion and professionalism. She not only is loyal to the company but, even under really tough conditions, she accepted the challenge to help the organization by taking additional responsibilities. She is always ready to support those around her and very easy in terms of communication. Her courage facing a really serious illness, trying to match her medical sessions with her activity at the site, made me think what's really important in our lives. We were able to find the right balance and Amanda put always 200% of her side to make it work when probably others would "throw the towel" at the first symptom. Amanda showed to me the real value of the word ENGAGEMENT. Thanks Amanda for all those years that I had the pleasure to work with you.
