I am a passionate explorer at the crossroads of education, technology, entrepreneurship, and social change, deeply committed to development throughout the Americas. My journey over the past two decades has taken me from my roots on the border in El Paso, Texas to the vibrant streets of Philadelphia, and along the extensive Pan-American highway, weaving through the diverse tapestries of North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean islands. Along this path, I've dedicated myself to forging connections, igniting innovation, and sowing the seeds of transformation.

At 26, I became the youngest Senior VP in a major Latino education organization in the US, driving growth and fostering cross-continental partnerships. By 33, I established BeNeXT Global, leveraging cutting-edge technology and curriculum design to inspire change. I initiated Futuro Las Americas, a pioneering blended edtech program in Latin America, supported by a $28.1M scholarship fund, benefiting over 1,200 scholars and creating a network of opportunity and hope.

I've shared inspiring narratives across borders through airwaves and social media, in English and Spanish, earning recognitions like the National Hispanic Institute's Citation of Merit and the School District of Philadelphia's Community Leadership Award.

With a firm belief in education and technology's transformative potential, I've immersed myself in edtech and digital media, understanding their crucial influence on the future. As an author, I passionately delve into the narrative of the Latino experience on the global stage, weaving tales that explore the profound influence of storytelling and the journey of social entrepreneurship in shaping dreams and realities across the Americas and beyond.

My education began at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, gaining insights from global leaders, and a Masters in strategic communication from Villanova University, mastering strategic planning and digital storytelling. This knowledge drives my advocacy for creativity, collaboration, and community.

Today, based in vibrant Mexico City, I ensure BeNeXT Global's foundational social mission thrives into the future as a member of the Board of Directors. This role grants me the liberty to pen my thoughts, create, wander through the corridors of innovation, and deeply engage in advising and nurturing transformative projects across the Americas.

My commitment is not just to lead but to listen, learn, and lend my voice to the collective effort of shaping and collectively reimagining the future of the region of the world I love most.
