Under her leadership, GeoAzul won the Road to Innovate competition, organized by Fundación Libertad Panamá, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, and the Panamanian Association of Business Executives (APEDE).[13] At the same time, GeoAzul received the Golden Palm for Circular Economy from the Panamanian Industrialists Union (SIP) for its environmental practices.[14] In 2021, she became an alumna of the U.S. State Department’s program[15] Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI).[16]
