Comment: This subject does not pass the criteria for the general notability guidelines which includes sources being independent and reliable, and are majorly secondary and not majorly primary. The threshold for politicians was undoubtedly not met at all. I'd advise allowing this draft to sit for a while and let natural coverages that satisfy the GNG criteria surface.

Under her leadership, GeoAzul won the Road to Innovate competition, organized by Fundación Libertad Panamá, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, and the Panamanian Association of Business Executives (APEDE).[13] At the same time, GeoAzul received the Golden Palm for Circular Economy from the Panamanian Industrialists Union (SIP) for its environmental practices.[14] In 2021, she became an alumna of the U.S. State Department’s program[15] Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI).[16]
