Still, with the unconditional support of her now-husband and her loving parents, she knew it was worth the wait. After graduating in 2017 from Hillsborough Community College, she landed a job at the last clinical site where she was a student, Orlando Health Cancer Institute, and worked there for four years. In 2020, Mayra gave birth to her first baby girl, Valentina, whom she adores more than anything else in the world. In her free time, Mayra enjoys spending time with her family and loves dancing.
