My biography
My name is Lina María Flórez Bertel. I was born on September 20, 1985 in Bucaramanga (Santander). I have two sisters: My older sister name is Diana and my younger sister is Lida. My parents are Eduardo Manuel Flórez and Vilma Rosa Bertel. 3 years ago my older sister got married, and now lives with her husband Julian and my niece Gabriella. At the moment I live with my mom and my younger sister, because my parents got divorce when I was 11.
At 5 years, I started at school. I studied my primary in Cajasan Lagos, and I studied my high school in Nuestra Señora del Pilar.
In 2000, I studied English and German, in the language institute at the Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS), but it was long and I forget some of those languages.
In 2002, I started studying Industrial Engineering at the Pontificia Bolivariana University, and I'm about finish my career.
In 2007, I failed my career, because my family had no money to pay my university, and that year, I worked for a firm in the city of Medellin called Bésame. This company is dedicated to producing and selling underwear for women. I worked as a manager. And in the second half of 2008, I return to college to continue my career. At the moment I'm working in the Contraloría General de Santander.
I'm a little perfectionist and I like doing things right from the start.
I love dogs. I have two Schnauzer breed dogs, their names are Luna and Juana and I love them so much.
I like Italian food, as lasagna, pasta, but my favorite is pizza; chicken pizza with mushrooms. I really hate coffee, and it is curious because in my country everyone drinks coffee, and it’s strange for a Colombian don’t drink coffee.
I feel much affection for the culture of the Colombian Caribbean, because my family is from Barranquilla, I like the Vallenato, the football, and my favorite football team is the Junior of Barranquilla.
In the future I want to work in a free zone (Zona Franca) and I have thought about having a warehouse, I worked with my family to have the franchise of Victoria Secret.
Right now I'm doing my degree project and I hope to graduate in March next year.
