My Story

My professional journey started in the fast-paced world of a family-owned jewelry business. For three years, I was immersed in entrepreneurship, sparking a spirit that led me to study Psychology at UC Davis to better understand people. My startup, FunRaising.AI, was the natural next step—a fusion of my business background, my understanding of human behavior, and my passion for creative problem-solving.

My Values

Empathetic Support

My experience assisting in therapeutic environments and mentoring students with intellectual disabilities has taught me the importance of patience and compassion in any collaborative setting.

Creative Problem-Solving

Thriving in dynamic settings, the startup journey involved leading a team through a strategic pivot based on user feedback and redesigning the educational model to better meet the needs of teachers and parents. This experience demonstrates a strong capacity for leveraging adaptability to find impactful solutions to complex challenges.

Beyond the Resume

As a native Spanish speaker, I am a passionate and effective communicator in any setting. This multilingual ability has enriched my understanding of diverse perspectives and strengthened my ability to connect with people from different backgrounds.

Currently seeking new opportunities where a unique blend of business and user-centric skills can be applied. Available to discuss projects and explore how this background could benefit your team. A chance to connect is welcomed.
