What is your professional experience/background?
I have the privilege of working for one of the largest gaming companies in the world. I am the Executive Director of Corporate Philanthropy and Community Engagement for MGM Resorts International. My job is to connect the company, our people, and our nonprofits. I started my career working for nonprofits, so serving others has been a lifestyle that fulfils me. I also volunteer and serve on several nonprofit boards, and at CSN as an advisory council member (IAC). Accomplishments:
Goals: My goal would be to communicate the importance of giving back to our communities either by volunteering or donating. Nonprofits are eager to find talented individuals, especially women of color. So, one of my goals is to connect as many people as possible to a cause. Other question or point you would like to add: Ladies let’s leave a legacy of paying it forward, Let’s support each other and succeed together. Let the world know what Latina in Power can DO!
What is your professional experience/background? As with many Latino families, my parents persevered and overcame many obstacles since the moment they arrived. I recall delivering newspapers for the Review Journal and The Las Vegas Sun as early as 8 years old. By high school, I wanted to alleviate some expenses for my parents and so I began my search for a summer job. My mom came home with a flyer one day that read: “High School Internship Program at Washington Mutual.” My initial reaction was to say no as I did not see myself in banking. Low and behold 17 years later I have made a very successful career from it. I spent many years taking on different roles within the branches while also going to school. I was blessed to have an opportunity present itself soon after I graduated from college. Today I provide treasury, credit, payment, and global solutions to mid-size companies as a Commercial Banker for JPMorgan Chase & Co. Aside from my day job, I have a passion for advocating diversity, equity and inclusion both internally and externally. Accomplishments:
Goals: Personal goal: I would like to travel more with my baby girl and husband. Professional goal: I would like to join a board of an organization that aligns with my values and make an impact to the Vegas community. In addition, I would love to be recognized as an influential individual whether that’s through 40 under 40, Women to Watch, etc.

What is your professional experience/background? Hi, I graduated from the University of Phoenix with a Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing. Being fluent in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, I have paved my way through my career in the Marketing field. In addition, I have over a decade of knowledge in Marketing and Sales. I possess experience ranging from Entravision Communications, strengthening my broadcast knowledge, to Robertson + Partners. My various points of expertise working with Robertson + Partners ranges from transcreation and translation services focused on the Hispanic Market. Specializing in this important local market came through networking, analysis, strategic planning/execution, creating cross-cultural promotions, target profiling, media planning and media buying. Accomplishments: In 2013, I was awarded best local Hispanic marketing campaign in the U.S. by McDonald's Corporation, a prestigious national award and nearly impossible to accomplish. In addition, after my success in the Hispanic consumer market I became involved with the Asian consumer market and African American consumer market to develop strategic plans to connect the McDonald's brand with the Las Vegas community. Aside from partnering with McDonald's during my tenure at Robertson + Partners, I am still actively involved with the Las Vegas Community through the Las Vegas Latin Chamber of Commerce and have developed strong relationships within the Hispanic community, and recently with ALPFA Las Vegas chapter. Goals: My efforts in servicing the multicultural markets across Las Vegas has brought upon tremendous opportunity for SW, now bringing the adventure of working with markets nearby, El Centro/Yuma, California and Reno, Nevada.
