I have thoroughly enjoyed partnering with La Colaborativa for the past two years. La Colaborativa empowers Latinx immigrants to enhance the social and economic health of the community and its people and to hold institutional decision-makers accountable to the community. My favorite part has been interacting as a business mentor with the students. I love hearing their brilliant, creative ideas and perspectives of the world and how they see themselves playing a part. The youth of the program are passionate and have so much to offer and teach the world around them!

Over the years, I’ve cultivated a passion for international experiences and exploring new cultures and communities; I’m equally passionate about building bridges, promoting equity, and providing opportunities. I, along with my co-founders, founded the Too Fly Foundation, a nonprofit with the sole mission of providing students in under-resourced communities with passports and travel grants so they can participate in study and volunteer abroad programs. To inspire curiosity abroad, we partner with small businesses to global organizations, host one-of-a-kind fundraisers, provide Virtual Reality travel experience to students, as well as provide passports to deserving middle school through collegiate students.

I believe inclusivity is an important aspect of all life. My involvement with Clarkston’s Diversity Council inspired me to get more involved in the local community and the Roanoke Diversity Center. The RDC provides opportunities for volunteer work and local events, aiming to empower and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. I fully support the RDC’s commitment to the community and their efforts to educate on the importance of diversity and inclusion. Within the community in the RDC, I have found a collective passion and unified dedication to creating a welcoming space for all the Roanoke Valley. Through the Diversity Council and the RDC, my passion to be a better servant leader has grown and continues to grow.
