Mi nombre es Karina Víquez Peña. Nací el 2 de abril de 1983 en la ciudad de Heredia, Costa Rica. Crecí en un pueblo llamado San Joaquín de Flores, después de unos años tuve que mudarme a un Pueblo no muy lejos de ahí llamado San Juan de Santa Bárbara donde culminé mis estudios de primaria en la Escuela Tranquilino Sáez Rojas. Por algunas circunstancias de mi vida termine mis estudios de bachillerato en la UNED(colegio nocturno). Inicie mis estudios en derecho en la Universidad de las Ciencias y el Arte. A partir de mi llegada a este país en el año 2021 comencé a trabajar para el grupo SERG hasta el año 2024. Para febrero del 2024 empecé en MP Hospitality Services donde me dieron la gran oportunidad, para apoyar mi crecimiento personal y profesional. En esta compañía se me da la oportunidad y satisfacción de poder ayudar a personas como yo, que llegan a este país con un sueño de tener un trabajo y una estabilidad económica, para ayudar a sus familias. Me siento muy satisfecha de las cosas que he logrado hasta ahora, pero lo que más me emociona y motiva es seguir ayudando a más personas como yo, que tiene un sueño de superación
