Surf Coach
What is your role in the Salty Souls Experience ?
I am in charge of everything relative to the surf for Salty El Salvador. Surfing is my number one passion and I want to share my knowledge to help you demystify and experience of this amazing sport!
Surfing has been at the center of my life for the last couples of years and I want to share with you my love and respect of the ocean, this is a special place where happiness can come in small and simple things.
What’s your background and how did you acquire those skills ?
I have a degree in International Business and Human Rights, but that is just on paper. In reality, I am addicted to travels. I truly believed that traveling is a school as valuable as a degree from a university. Being out of your comfort zone while being guided by your guts is something you can’t learn in a classroom.
In 2010, I had the chance to put my feet on a surfboard for the first time. The power of the wave, the feeling of gliding over the water, and the energy of the ocean got me hooked instantly. Since then, all my trips were planned around surfing.
I lived in El Salvador for the past year and got to learn its beautiful culture. I also had the chance to meet Erika and Marie-Christine and see what Salty Souls Experience was all about. The experience is such an amazing opportunity for Ladies from different backgrounds to all get out of their comfort zones in such a beautiful location. I am so stoked and lucky to be part of the team!
What’s your biggest challenge within the Salty Souls Experience ?
Surfing is 100% dependent on Mother Nature, reading the conditions can sometimes be very challenging! I need to be flexible to provide the best environment possible to insure all guests have an amazing experience. Having a plan B (or C!) is always necessary.
Ninja super skill people don’t know you possess ?
I have the fastest moving eyebrows and nostrils! Skills to pay the bills, they say… Not sure! But it’s funny enough to entertain a small crowd! Haha
