“Life begins at the end of our comfort zone.” A mantra I remind myself as I rock my two-year-old toddler back to sleep at 3 am. Ya, I try to find the silver lining in things. A bit about me: I don't shy away from embarrassing moments. One time, while living near the border of Tucson, Arizona, and Mexico, I worked as a community organizer advocating for fair immigration border policies. While on a 25-day campaign, Telemundo asked me for an interview on the work we were doing for the migrant community in Tucson. I said, yes reluctantly, only because my Spanish was very limited at the time and the reporter said to do my best. So I did. And I FAILED. All I could concentrate on was how hot my face felt and how my tongue struggled to speak clearly. So, I told myself that I knew I could be better and so I did. I went to Colombia, stayed for a year and my Spanish now is a LOT better looking (gracias, Celia Cruz:) I am tenacious. I am soft. I pay attention to details, like people's birthdays or fresh haircuts. And even someone's mood changes. I like that kind of stuff. I care about people and equity because we have this one life to live and everyone deserves to live healthy, full, and vibrant lives. I am looking to bring my 5+ years of advocacy, community organizing, and strategic fundraising experience to the tech space. I want to be a part of a dynamic team that puts people first, that cares deeply about equity, and is actually walking that talk. Feel free to reach out to connect, I'm down to chat!
