Summary

Born in Miami and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, I have been a Christian for 17 years, and I have served in ministry for over a decade. Through this journey, I’ve come to understand the deep blessing of living with mission and purpose. I have a strong passion for helping the Spanish speaking communities, I recognize that churches, nonprofits, organizations, and communities face real needs, and I am passionate about being part of the solution.

I carry a strong conviction that the Church extends beyond four walls, and I believe we are called to meet people where they are. This belief fuels my heart for service, and my desire to support ministries and organizations with a meaningful mission.

In my personal time, I’ve worked closely with new nonprofits, offering consultation in areas such as mission and vision development, call to action, organizational structure, and fundraising strategies. My goal is always to help build strong, sustainable foundations that can make a lasting impact.

I understand that my purpose is to help others, and I’m committed to using my gifts to support great ministries and purpose-driven organizations that are making a difference in the world.
