Summary

Blending art passion with real estate innovation, I specialize in property redesign and art consultancy. With roots in empathy and a commitment to diversity, I leverage my Latina heritage and LGBTQ+ advocacy to enrich both sectors. As a bilingual educator and seminar leader, I employ non-violent communication to foster inclusive environments and enhance learning experiences. Balancing my professional roles with being a devoted mother to three young children, I bring a unique perspective and unwavering dedication to every endeavor. My diverse career showcases adaptability and a deep connection to cultural settings, making me a valuable asset across multiple disciplines.
