“Mercedes is a conscientious and effective professional. Mercedes and I were colleagues at Deloitte. I also had the opportunity to observe her in the course of volunteer work when both of us were members of a US team that travelled to Ecuador to offer a clinic in a small town there.

She was readily accepted by the local girls as a role model.”
