From COLOMBIA, Margarita feels blessed with the opportunity to help Zumba to grow in Latin America and for making an impact in people´s lives.  Zumba® has allowed this Master in Business Administration to pursue her passion for dance and fitness, to proudly represent her country while introducing a unique alternative of fun-and-healthy fitness discipline and motivating others to embrace this incredible movement.  She is recognized for introducing an unknown and powerful fitness concept for most of Colombians in 2011.
Margarita started her career as Zumba® instructor in Texas (USA) and decided to move back to continue her journey in her home country.  After saving enough money through her employment as a university professor and independent Zumba® instructor, Margarita opened STUDIO SOUND, the first independent studio dedicated to Zumba® Fitness in Colombia which served an initial community of 100 followers and teaching six classes per week.  Due to the Covid Pandemic and its consequences, Studio Sound closed its locations. Before its closure, this organization used to provided over 200 sessions monthly and published a newsletter for 2000 followers that included, general information, events calendar and class schedules.  Proudly, some of the  instructors she employed in the studio began their careers as her students. 
In 2012, Margarita hosted the first Zumba® Instructor Training in Colombia, successfully inspiring her own students and other fitness instructors throughout the country.  Forty-five Zumba® instructors were certified in for the first time in Bogota, which marked an incredible milestone for Zumba® in her country. Additionally, Margarita was elected by her peers and was trained by the Zumba® Home Office to be the ZCOM™ Community Council Representative for Latin America.  She has not only presented Zumba® Fitness internationally but also continue running her studio virtually with Live and Videos On Demand classes, participates in Master Classes, public events and hosts Zumbathon's to ignite the passion, growth and energy of Zumba in her fellow countrymen and in fitness facilities launching the program.  Margarita was the pioneer in Colombia of Zumba Gold®, Zumba® Toning, Aqua Zumba® and Zumba Sentao™.

Nacida en COLOMBIA, Margarita se siente bendecida con la oportunidad de ayudar a Zumba a crecer en América Latina y por tener un impacto en la vida de las personas. Zumba® ha permitido que esta Master en Administración de Empresas persiga su pasión por el baile y el ejercicio físico, para representar con orgullo a su país al mismo tiempo que presenta una alternativa única de disciplina de ejercicio físico divertida y saludable y motiva a otros a adoptar este increíble movimiento.  Ella es reconocida por introducir un concepto fitness desconocido y poderoso para la mayoría de los colombianos en el año 2011.
Margarita comenzó su carrera como instructora de Zumba® en Texas (EE. UU.) y decidió regresar para continuar su viaje en su país de origen. Después de ahorrar suficiente dinero a través de su empleo como profesora universitaria e instructora independiente de Zumba®, Margarita abrió STUDIO SOUND, el primer estudio independiente dedicado a Zumba® Fitness en Colombia que atendía a una comunidad inicial de 100 seguidores y dictaba seis clases por semana. Debido a la Pandemia del Covid y sus consecuencias, Studio Sound cerró sus locales. Antes de su clausura, esta organización solía ​​brindar más de 200 sesiones mensuales y publicaba un boletín para 2000 seguidores que incluía información general, calendario de eventos y horarios de clases. Orgullosamente, algunos de los instructores que empleó en el estudio comenzaron sus carreras como sus alumnos.
En 2012, Margarita organizó la primera capacitación de instructores de Zumba® en Colombia, inspirando con éxito a sus propios estudiantes y a otros instructores de acondicionamiento físico en todo el país. Cuarenta y cinco instructores de Zumba® se certificaron por primera vez en Bogotá, lo que marcó un hito increíble para Zumba® en su país. Además, Margarita fue elegida por sus pares y fue capacitada por la oficina central de Zumba® para ser la Representante del Consejo Comunitario de ZCOM™ para América Latina. No solo ha presentado Zumba® Fitness a nivel internacional, sino que también continúa administrando su estudio virtualmente con clases en vivo y videos a pedido, participa en clases magistrales, eventos públicos y presenta Zumbathon para encender la pasión, el crecimiento y la energía de Zumba en sus compatriotas y en gimnasios que lanzan el programa. Margarita fue la pionera en Colombia de Zumba Gold®, Zumba® Toning, Aqua Zumba® y Zumba Sentao™.
