Tell us a little about yourself. What are your passions/interests?
I enjoy hiking around Southern California and relaxing at the beach. I love to spoil and dress my fur kids, father and son duo - Bentley and Pete.??
What is your favorite quote?
“If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” --Maya Angelou
Who is the most influential woman you know??
My grandmother has been the most inspirational woman in my life. She moved to the states from her family home in Puerto Rico. She taught herself English, put herself through nursing school, and raised her two children independently. She was a beautiful, loving, passionate woman who never relied on others. She traveled extensively and lived life to the fullest. She was poised, polished, and powerful. Her entrepreneurial spirit and drive set an example that I continuously strive to emulate.
What advice do you have for young women who want to be in leadership positions??
My advice to young women who want to be in leadership positions starts with remaining true to yourself. Do not compare yourselves to others; rather, do things on your own timeline. Play to your strengths and take risks. Practice resilience. Don’t be afraid of the spotlight, be heard. Start at the bottom and earn/learn your way to leadership positions. Lastly, always work hard while trying to learn as much as possible.
What does Women’s History Month mean to you??
Women’s History Month means recognizing all of the ways women have evolved. It’s an opportunity to respect and honor women who have struggled and overcome significant hurdles. We should be consistently honoring the achievements of trailblazing women! As a woman raising two young ladies in today’s society, my hope is that they will benefit from continued efforts towards equality. The U.S Women’s Soccer team recently setting a precedent for equal pay is an encouraging step in the right direction.
