I am blessed to have had a career where I have helped many nonprofits find their own strength. I am unique in fundraising consulting because of the tenure of my career, because I weave in diversity into fundraising naturally, and have created some national lasting innovations in fundraising. Let's talk!

The Colibri as we call this beautiful creature in spanish touches my culture and my message as a fundraiser. The Colibri is a messenger from our ancestors, is a Yaqui symbol of perseverance and strength even in the harshest conditions.
