I'm a first-generation Latina and licensed social worker, serving as a Social Work Career Coach, Public Speaker, and Workshop Facilitator, helping social workers attain professional career success.

My ultimate goal is to empower and instill confidence in social work students and alumni, enabling them to secure traditional opportunities in micro, mezzo, and macro areas of practice and non-traditional social work roles.
