My mission is to help minorities, in particular Latinas, achieve economic success and independence through entrepreneurship. I am passionate about serving others, solving problems, and creating strategic partnerships and results that foster local, national, global and sustainable impact.In my role as Executive Director at Mercado On Fifth, I have the opportunity to support not only the development of new small business in the Quad Cities, but also the celebration and preservation of our Latino heritage. As the Senior Director of Business Pathways and the Director of the Women’s Business Center at Mi Casa Resource Center, I led a team of professionals who provide training, coaching, and resources to women entrepreneurs in Denver and beyond. With over 20 years of experience in sales, marketing, and relationship building, I have a strong background in life insurance, wealth preservation, and cross-border investment, with a focus on Latin America. I am also a certified Salesforce.com administrator, a skill that enables me to leverage CRM technology to optimize business processes and customer satisfaction.
