Helping individuals and organizations lead with #leadwith❤️!

As a first-generation immigrant college student and leader, I am committed to enhancing the success of all individual and organizations. I am extremely motivated by my varied professional experiences and my journey and as girl born and raised in rural Dominican Republic, afforded to the opportunity to graduate high school and later attend college in New York City. My life was most significantly transformed by access to a public education, allowing me to achieve success that I could not have dreamt up for myself. It is my life's purpose to develop and support a similar transformation for individuals, teams and organizations with whom I partner.

I currently serve as Board Chair of NASPA (Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Ed) and I am also the lead editor of Latinx/a/os in Higher Education: Exploring Identity, Pathways, and Success, published in 2018.

I have worked in higher education for over twenty years and have served in various senior level positions at Champlain College, Oregon State University, the University of Southern Indiana and Mills College. Additionally, I worked as a career counselor at Lynn University and at the University of Vermont (UVM) where I worked in the ALANA Student Center, the Counseling Center, and the Residential Life Department.

My professional experience also includes implementing a successful strategic planning and multicultural education program at a large urban high school, where I chaired the Foreign Language and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Department and coordinated mentoring and multicultural programs.

My areas of interest and expertise include, Higher Education, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Student Affairs, Organizational Development and Executive Coaching.
