Though she already boasts a History degree with an emphasis on Asian and African studies, she is currently pursuing an additional degree in Tourism Resource Management.
Her favorite part of working with Delver is having the opportunity to connect with the unique cultures and perspectives of a diverse client base while upholding universal values of common empathy.
How does she help deliver Delver’s mission of providing excellent customer service? “Continuous learning and skill development is the priority,” she says. “By staying informed and empathetic I’m able to build strong client relationships, which in turn helps to foster a supportive, respectful work environment.”
In her spare time, Rochi enjoys reading, traveling, learning new languages, and exploring nature with her family.

According to Jimena, every day presents a new opportunity to fulfill her clients’ needs. “We are constantly striving to improve our performance,” she says. “Our invoicing department is always meeting new challenges, and we continually look for ways to guarantee better service. Our clients understand this and know they can rely on us.”
When she’s not responding to the evolving accounting needs of her clients, Jimena enjoys reading, going to the movies, playing video games, walking, and riding her bike. She is also a huge fan of sports and music, and finds her home of Ushuaia perfect for both.

That is why we’re so committed to teamwork above all else.”
The building of solid client relationships is Josefina’s favorite part of the job. Many of her clients have become friends, which she now considers part of her extended Delver Agents family.
