I’m a registered nurse with over 20 years of healthcare experience in neonatal and pediatric specialties. I have a desire to help young moms after seeing the challenges my sister faced as a pregnant teen.

I’m currently the RN Manager of Clinical Services for Valley Children’s Home Care.

As a seasoned nonprofit professional with nearly a decade of experience in this sector, I am driven by a deep commitment to equity, community power, and systems change. I have a strong background in program management, policy advocacy, and cross-functional collaboration across health, immigrant rights, housing, and education. My experience spans statewide campaigns, coalition-building, and strategic planning, all anchored in a values-based leadership style that centers trust, autonomy, and purpose.

I specialize in:

- Cultivating partnerships with diverse stakeholders across sectors
- Leading strategic advocacy and community engagement campaigns
- Managing complex projects, budgets, and program deliverables
- Facilitating inclusive, equity-driven processes and meetings
- Building and supporting effective, mission-aligned teams

Rooted in my passion for social justice and public service, I aim to scale impact by guiding efforts that shift resources, power, and decision-making toward communities most affected by systemic inequities. Hablo español.
