About Me
I have been coaching, mentoring, and planning for as long as I can remember! As a Puerto Rican/Mexican American woman, I learned to appreciate diversity at a young age. I grew up in Michigan, but I’ve lived in metro Atlanta for nearly 30 years with my laidback, loving husband whom I’ve been married to longer than that! We are avid travellers and enjoy using our free time to eat exotic food and volunteer.
Professionally, I am the current President of the Board of the DDD Foundation, Inc., as well as a recent Diversity Council Member of True Blue, Inc. A great honor and privilege in my life is being the recipient of the World Staffing Awards by Candidate.ly as “Top 100 Staffing Leaders to Watch in 2023.”
It brings me great personal joy to see you and/or your company’s growth and success and I am looking forward to working with you!
