"Uplifted and Uplifting."
Welcome to a narrative of resilience, transformation, and impact. My journey began in El Salvador, migrating as an Indigenous immigrant to a rural community in California at the age of 9. Guided by my mother's unwavering belief in education as the passport to a brighter future, I navigated my path with dedication and the support of my community.
With a Master of Business Administration, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, my academic endeavors have been a unique blend of business acumen, human behavior, and social understanding. These experiences, enriched by my bilingual and bicultural background, have deeply informed my approach to creating inclusive and effective strategies in my professional work.
As a Certified Nonprofit Professional and Board Consultant, I am committed to fostering meaningful social change. My expertise as a ProSci Certified Change Management Practitioner enables me to guide individuals and organizations through effective change adoption, ensuring success in diverse projects and initiatives.
My career, spanning over a decade, has been devoted to creating pathways of opportunity, mirroring the support I received. From leading comprehensive program evaluation studies to integrating quantitative and qualitative insights, my work is defined by a passion for driving tangible, positive change.
My approach is rooted in building strong relationships and understanding diverse perspectives. This allows me to support groups in achieving their goals and driving organizational success. Collaborating with you, we'll uncover practical communication strategies for diverse stakeholders, creating dynamic partnerships and opportunities.
