Why she works for Hispanic Access…

"I love that Hispanic Access Foundation leads all initiatives from a value- centered perspective. It not only makes me feel empowered as a member of this team but this approach drives us to look for the already- existing strengths of the Hispanic Community and simply serves to guide and amplify the opportunities and engagement of Hispanic individuals everywhere. Thats exactly what I want to be a part of!"

In her spare time…

“I enjoy spending time at the beach, working on a good puzzle and traveling.”

Her favorite book…

“From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler- it's the story of a brother and sister who run away from home and live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY and the adventures they encounter. It's a children's book but reminds me of the importance of having adventures, striving for growth and ultimately how one can always go home (whatever that may look like).”

A person she finds inspirational…

“A supervisor from many years ago that led our small team and served her community with grace, empathy and a gentle kindness that I will never forget. I’ll often think to myself, “what would Mireya say/do?”. She reminds me that each person has value to include ourselves and we must create space for this.”
