 Greetings

To my friend and professor Néstor Crespo who instructed me and opened

almost all my professional doors, for his interminable generosity.

To Cecilia, always by my side.

To my mother Martha for her lifelong unconditional support.

To my father Carlos for taking me by the hand in the first steps of this beautiful profession.
