Luz Mary Torres: honesty, effort, and commitment

Born in Bogotá, Luz Mary Torres is a marketing professional who studied dentistry up to her seventh semester. Although she didn’t complete her degree, her passion for the dental field led her to contribute from a different perspective. She began her career as a warehouse manager, and when her potential was recognized, she was offered a position in the sales department. Since then, she has dedicated 16 years to the world of sales in the dental and medical industries, distinguishing herself through empathy, strong communication skills, and unwavering commitment.

She has worked across various areas of the industry, including retail and direct sales, always eager to grow professionally, explore new brands, and share her experience. Her career has been marked by continuous learning and a constant pursuit for advancement.

Beyond her professional life, Luz Mary is the mother of an 18-year-old daughter studying Software Engineering. Together, they have faced significant challenges, building a life grounded in respect, values, and balance. Achieving harmony between her family responsibilities and professional development is both a priority and a source of pride.

Her main motivation is her daughter, along with a deep desire to grow, excel, and keep learning.

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.

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 bringing her passion and commitment to the field, she is also strengthening herself as a professional, a woman, and a mother.
