With over 15 years of experience in nonprofit management, I am a bilingual and bi-cultural leader who is passionate about advancing the mission of Welcoming America, an organization that supports communities and institutions in becoming more inclusive and welcoming of immigrants and refugees. As the Chief External Affairs Officer, I set the vision and strategic direction for the organization's externally facing efforts, including development, communications, and strategic partnerships. I oversee a team of professionals who work to strengthen our brand, establish and maintain our reputation, and lead a creative revenue strategy. I also leverage my skills in social networking, public relations, and fundraising to build and sustain relationships with diverse stakeholders, such as donors, media, policymakers, and community leaders.
