+ I have experience with very large institutions, medium and small nonprofits.
+ As a proud Chicano, I bring a unique racial justice and equity lens to all my work
+ Deep knowledge of prospect research and prospecting
+ Direct experience fundraising all over the US

Why the Hummingbird?
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.
