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.
