The Story Behind "Ojos Alegres" and the Joy of Helping Others Thrive
November 9, 2024 by | Leave a Comment

It all started on a rooftop in Mexico City, sharing a plate of chilaquiles con huevos at a hostel that was as quirky as it was questionable. Amid the clatter of dishes, the chatter of travelers, and the vibrant hum of the city below, I earned the nickname "𝓞𝓳𝓸𝓼 𝓐𝓵𝓮𝓰𝓻𝓮𝓼" (Happy Eyes). That moment, soaked in spontaneity and connection, has stayed with me for over 20 years—a constant reminder of the joy in finding happiness wherever you are.

Fast forward to today, and "Ojos Alegres" feels like more than a nickname; it’s become my way of being. My passion lies in helping others discover careers that truly light them up—roles that:

  • Offer a genuine sense of work/life balance

  • Provide competitive compensation

  • Leave them with the energy to embrace their families and passions outside of work

When I see someone land their dream role or pivot to a new opportunity that reignites their enthusiasm, it gives me "ojos alegres" all over again.

Gratitude for the Journey

To everyone who has trusted me—whether it was for a promotion, a career pivot, or just a fresh perspective—thank you. Your support, referrals, and encouragement mean the world to me. Every cheer and every shared post fuels this mission to make meaningful career connections.

You are the ones who rock, and I am endlessly grateful.

With Love and Bright Eyes

Con mucho cariño y un abrazo fuerte,
Ojos Alegres
