After being in the hospitality industry for ten years working for Inter-Continental Hotel, Stouffer Presidente Hotel and Four Seasons Hotel, Ms. Sánchez Vebber decided to follow my passion and become an attorney. Her father and grandfather were attorneys and it was something she always wanted to be. It is her calling, her passion and in her blood! Ms. Sánchez Vebber’s inspiration comes from her grandmother and her daughter. Her grandmother grew up in Massachusetts and married a Guatemalan Man and moved to Guatemala.  She left her footprint there as a strong and determined woman.
