HUSBAND
In 2013 she married Guatemalan race walker Erick Barrondo. "At the end of the day, it's easier to be with a person who understands you, who is as tired as you are, and with whom we can deal with being far away from our country. It's much easier than if my partner weren't an athlete. In that case it would be more complicated. We get along pretty well. We understand each other and we know how to enjoy the good moments. And in the bad moments, we suffer them together." (soy502.com, 28 Sep 2019)
