I believe community work should come from the heart, and should be aligned with your gifts. During my time living in Tulsa, I have served in many boards and committees, I will forever be an advocate for Tulsa, the immigrant community, and the minority entrepreneurs that are the heart of our business community.

La Cosecha
Board Member
La Cosecha provides members of our community in need with groceries and other essential items on a weekly basis. An average family of four receives a week's worth of food at each disbursement. Additionally, La Cosecha stocks a clothing and furniture pantry. Recently, La Cosecha was gifted the opportunity to provide financial assistance to our undocumented clients through a partnership with the Tulsa Immigrant Relief Fund.
YMCA
Board Member
I am truly excited and proud to be a board member at this moment, when the YWCA is expanding its work to the east side. The East Central YMCA is a multimillion project that will upgrade the quality of life of East Tulsa residents.
VEST HER

As a woman, a Latina, and entrepreneur and a cancer survivor all in one, I am and forever will be a champion for women. Vest Her is a great fit for my life's work and commitment to community.
Be Well
Board Member
There was no question in my mind as to whether I wanted to be part of the Be Well CDC (Community Development Corporation). As they state: "No one should be disadvantaged from achieving their potential because of their social position or socially determined circumstance."
I have assisted the Be Well CDC with the development and implementation of the North Tulsa Forward Program (NTFP).
