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: 

• Women to Watch 2022 
• HACR Young Hispanic Corporate Achiever
• 40 under 40

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.
