Loly was born and raised in Caracas and Isla Margarita, Venezuela. She studied at the University of Oriente in Isla Margarita, where she obtained a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and specialized in Management with a focus on networks and telecommunications.

Although she started working towards a master's degree in education there, she could not complete it due to her move to the United States. However, she recently completed an MBA in Business Intelligence from Universidad Catolica de Murcia. Her first job was as a Customer Service Analyst at Alimentos Polar Comercial, one of the largest food companies in Venezuela. There, she gained experience in inventory management, logistics, and distribution. Her professional career has been varied, starting in logistics, then dedicating herself to university education as a professor of Algorithms and Data Structures, and later software development.

Loly has spent time as a freelance webmaster, as well as small business owner, Chief Information Officer of a small food delivery company, and Chief Technology Officer at a small gaming start-up. For the past six years, she has been working at the Upper Skagit Library as a Library Technology Specialist, where she has used the skills from her previous careers to serve and connect with the community and discovered her passion for social work, improving communities, and helping people. Loly volunteered at Community Action Skagit from January 2023 until July 2024.

Outside of work, she enjoys painting, cooking, writing poetry, and practicing CrossFit, an activity that gives her energy despite being demanding. Migration to the United States has allowed her to form a new family in the Skagit Valley, where she spends time with friends she considers her chosen family and enjoying activities such as choosing names for her  “American sister’s” new cows, walking dogs by the river, or teaching Spanish to her best friends. She currently resides in Sedro-Woolley, WA.
