About
Mission-driven program management is my passion! I transform complex challenges into scalable solutions that drive measurable impact. With a decade of nonprofit leadership experience, I've built and optimized programs that serve thousands while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and quality.
What I bring to organizations:
• Strategic Program Development: Designed the Central American Minors (CAM) Hotline, managing 2,500+ annual client interactions and becoming the leading national resource for the program
• Operational Excellence: Built CRM infrastructure and SOPs that supported 28% annual growth while maintaining service quality standards
• Team Leadership: Successfully recruited, trained, and managed high-performing teams, creating collaborative environments that drive results
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Established 10+ strategic partnerships and led multi-lateral forums with government officials and national organizations
• Data-Driven Results: Implemented tracking systems that achieved 100% application processing rates and enabled comprehensive analytics for stakeholders
My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I excel at identifying operational gaps, designing scalable solutions, and building the systems and teams needed to implement them successfully. Whether working with vulnerable populations, government stakeholders, or cross-functional teams, I bring cultural competence and a commitment to inclusive leadership.
Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, I'm a bilingual professional (Spanish/English) with deep experience in immigration services and refugee resettlement. I hold a B.A. in Political Science from UMBC and graduated valedictorian from Montgomery College, where I was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa.
I'm passionate about leveraging technology and strategic partnerships to create sustainable, mission-driven impact. Currently based in Silver Spring, Maryland.
