My name is Luz Montero, I am 28 years old and originally from the state of Morelos. I moved to Tijuana when I was 19 years old seeking a better lifestyle and better career opportunities. I started by working for nearly 6 years in the call center industry as a technical support agent. Within my time in the call center I started to merge into the administration part of business and spent 2 years outside of the call center and dove right into management. It wasn't until 2020 when I decided to change directions again and sought a position in the tech world full time. I joined iTJuana in September last year and I am currently an IT Support Specialist for a science monitoring company named XiltriX USA.

My name is Karen Valdez. I enjoy swimming and outdoor activities. I love drinking coffee and getting to know new coffee shops in the city. My passion is engineering and everything that involves technology. I studied Biomedical Engineering in Instituto Tecnológico de Tijuana, were I graduated on December 2019. Right now I work as an Android Developer, and have been in Dexcom for more than a year, which is a job I have really enjoyed. I hope to continue to grow as an engineer and be an impact in the lives of others.
