Berkeley, California, United States
I’m a firm believer that another world is possible—through vision, intention, and collective work, change can happen. True fulfillment comes from doing what you love, which is why I chose the social sector: I believe the only way forward is to actively engage in the fight for a more just society. I’m passionate about social justice, getting things done, and driving impact in my role at Prospera. I’m committed to supporting teams, amplifying silenced voices, working hand-in-hand with entrepreneurs and communities, and taking Prospera to the next level. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me with my dogs (more the merrier), dancing, or sharing a heartfelt dinner with friends. Skills: fundraising, communications, event production, strategic planning, NGO coordination, and team leadership.
As Associate Director, I support the Executive Director in advancing our organization’s mission, focusing on sustainability through fundraising and communications.

My role is pivotal in shaping and executing the communication strategy of an organization to strengthen its brand, enhance internal and external messaging, and foster positive relationships with stakeholders
Prospera promotes entrepreneurship as a powerful vehicle for personal transformation, economic empowerment, and social change. We invest in creating safe spaces for women to break isolation, connect and support one another. We partner with Latina entrepreneurs to launch cooperatives and businesses with cooperative values that foster collaboration, economic independence and well-being in immigrant communities throughout the Bay Area. Through our comprehensive, culturally-specific training and technical assistance programs, Latinas access the networks, tools, and capital they need to become successful business owners and powerful community leaders. Through a holistic and unique blend of business incubation, cooperative education, and community-building, Prospera seeks to address the racial and economic injustices plaguing our communities by building alternative models that prioritize wellness, equity, and collaboration. Women emerge from our programs with the skills, knowledge, and connections they need to launch businesses and transform local economies.
