My Proudest Achievements:
One of the most recent achievements that I am most proud of was stepping into a role that allowed me to lead and collaborate with other amazing women. Understanding how our differences make us stronger, providing different lenses, perspectives, and input has allowed us to develop new skill sets and a more polished strategy towards success. I am also proud of being in an organization with so many women in leadership.

My Inspiration:
I can tell you that my mother and sister have been the key influences in my life. My mother showed us the value of dedication, relationship building, and self-motivation. These two strong Dominican women have both climbed the professional ladder by making sacrifices, working hard, and leading others. I am proud that their experience and stories have inspired me to become who I am today as a professional and as a mother.
