Luz Mary Torres: honestidad, esfuerzo y compromiso

Born in Bogotá, Luz Mary is a marketing professional who studied dentistry until her seventh semester. Although she didn't finish her degree, her passion for the dental field led her to get involved from a different angle. She began her career as a warehouse manager, and when her potential was recognized, she was offered a role in the sales department. Since then, she has dedicated 16 years to the world of sales in the dental and medical industries, standing out for her empathy, communication skills, and commitment..

She has worked in many parts of the industry, including retail and direct sales, always eager to grow professionally, explore new brands, and contribute her experience. Her career has been marked by continuous learning and a constant pursuit of advancement.

In addition to her professional role, Luz Mary is the mother of an 18-year-old girl studying Software Engineering. Together they have faced significant challenges, building a life based on respect, values, and balance. Achieving harmony between her family life and her professional development is a priority, as well as an achievement that fills her with pride.

Contribution to dentistry

“As a woman in the dental sector, I have guided my path with honesty, effort, and conviction. I recognize that, for us women, opportunities have sometimes been more limited, and precisely for that reason, I work every day to prove how valuable, capable, and transformative women are.

My driving force is the desire to build a better future for my daughter - one with more and better opportunities. In my professional work, I seek much more than just selling products: I focus on offering real solutions that positively impact the lives of dentists and, of course, their patients.”

For Luz Mary Torres, changing dentistry is a process of constant personal transformation. She believes that by contributing her passion and commitment to the field, she is also strengthening herself as a professional, a woman, and a mother.
