FWF: Tell me a little bit about yourself. What is your name and position at work? Where are you from originally?
Maura: My name is Maura Arce Aguilar. I’m from Guerrero, I’ve been working in the vineyards for four years. 

FWF: What do you like best about the work? What is hard about the work?
Maura: I like everything, I like the suckering.   I like to see the flower and how it starts to bloom. The most difficult thing to step on, for me it is difficult is because it is difficult because it is heavy and loading the trays is difficult.              

FWF: Did you have, or have you ever had a mentor at work? Tell us about them.
Maura: When I first came in, my coworkers taught me how to do the job.  And now I don't find it difficult anymore.

Maura:  Mi nombre Maura Arce Aguilar. Soy de Guerrero y tengo cuatro años trabajando en el campo


FWF: ¿Qué es lo que más le gusta del trabajo? ¿Qué es lo más difícil del trabajo?
Maura: Me gusta todo, me gusta la soca. Me gusta ver la flor y como empieza a florecer. Lo más difícil piscar, para mi es difícil es porque es pisca y badajear es difícil.


​
FWF: ¿Ha tenido o tiene un mentor en el trabajo? Háblenos de ellos.
Maura: Cuando entre la primera vez, mis compañeras me enseñaron como hacer el trabajo.  Y ahora ya no se me hace difícil.
