When she went up on stage, the Dr. Lodovico She said: “It is truly an honour for me to receive this award. I remember, at the end of 1992, when I had just graduated, my greatest professional challenge was to be able to enroll in the Council because it was what would give formality to my qualification.”
She added: “Then, in 1993, I entered the public sector and, little by little, I became involved in a field that was, at that time, mostly male. Today I have the opportunity to be the General Director of Customs and I would like to thank, above all, my family, who gave me the resources and the opportunity to be who I am today. I also thank the work mentors who helped me throughout my career and, especially, my daughter, who gives me strength every day to get up and keep going.”
