My passion for supporting the LatinX community has been a driving force throughout
my career, regardless of the industry. Most recently, I’ve focused on the wine industry,
where I had the privilege of creating educational opportunities for the LatinX community.
Now, I am excited to channel this passion into the educational sector. With my marketing
expertise and personal experience as a Latina, I am dedicated to identifying and forging
the right path forward. I look forward to contributing to a more inclusive and diverse
learning environment for fellow Latinos at a university committed to meaningful change.
