"Uplifted and Uplifting."

As an immigrant and Indigenous person from El Salvador, I moved to an underprivileged community in rural California at 9. My hardworking and dedicated mother firmly believed that education was my passport to a brighter future. Throughout my educational journey, I was fortunate to receive a wealth of support, and my professional career has been devoted to paving pathways of opportunity for others in the community.

As a ProSci Certified Change Management Practitioner, I specialize in guiding individuals and organizations through adopting change effectively, ensuring success in projects, initiatives, and daily operations. This approach, combined with my intense focus on relationship-building, empowers me to support groups in achieving their goals and driving organizational success.

I gain valuable insights from my bilingual, bicultural, and rural background in collaboration with you. Together, we'll discover practical and effective communication strategies with diverse stakeholders, forging connections and unveiling opportunities for dynamic partnerships.
