What's your current occupation? (i.e. Student, Scientist, Coach, In transition, etc.): Higher Education Professional. Entrepreneur. Professional & Executive Coach.
Without positions or titles, how would you describe yourself?: I would describe myself as casual, fun and informative.

I give off "cool but wise older prima" vibes and I'm here for it.
What are you passionate about?: I'm passionate about learning and growth! I love professional development and all things self-care. I think my newest love is connecting with people through professional coaching, educating about the process, and experiencing my clients grow through change. Witnessing my clients have those "aha" moments is priceless.
What does the representation of Scholars of Color mean to you?: It's a community where people of color are not just getting a seat at the table, they're creating the table! It's a beautiful representation of success, resilience and growth. It's a vessel where POCs are welcomed, celebrated and loved. It gives me hope and makes my corazon smile. Scholars of Color = Representation.
