Intentionally
serving others with passion & purpose
So lovely to meet you! This personal statement is the culmination of my life's experiences. Planted as a seed in my youth, I have always embraced a servant leadership mindset, pouring my heart into all the work I do. My identity and background have enabled me to navigate various spaces with grace and effectiveness.
"Ni de aqui, ni de alla"
My personal translation: "Neither here nor there"
Growing up, I never quite felt like I belonged to any specific space. I wasn't Mexican enough, nor was I Filipino enough. Born and raised here, I still didn't fully feel American enough. As a woman, I wasn't compliant enough, and as a leader, I wasn't outspoken enough—the list goes on. This has led me on a journey of existing in a constant state of ambiguity, embodying not just one identity but the intersectionality of many. However, one certainty has always guided me, which is my heart-centered approach to everything I do. This perspective has been pivotal in allowing me to adapt across different settings and, more crucially, has been instrumental in my approach to marketing, ensuring I never get myopic. It has allowed me to truly understand customers and build effective relationships in my work. What I once viewed as a burden has transformed into my greatest strength: the ability to not be confined to a single identity. The intersectionality of my experiences has opened doors to a variety of roles, each with its distinct focus and niche. At the end of the day, I find myself neither here nor there, yet there's beauty existing in the in-between.
