Vice president and Co-Founder

I am inspired everyday by the following quote: “In a world where you can be anything, BE KIND”. As we get older, we begin to realize the things that really matter. We begin to measure success not just by what we do, but by how what we do can positively affect others. Assisting an animal, planting a tree or being there for one another is when we are most successful.     

Helping children was always in my heart but it only became a reality when my lifetime friend Jessica led us to Guatemala, a trip that humbled me and changed my life forever. Being born in a developing country I understood the necessity that children endure, but this journey solidified my beliefs. Guided by HOPE and LOVE and most importantly by God, we made a pledge to help change the life of a child, no matter how minimal that change might be. We pledged to make a positive impact around Latin America by helping the ones that are most vulnerable.  

Planting Hope and Love Foundation was born with the passion and desire to make the world a better place and I endeavor to continue to use my strengths within the organization so that we can grow towards this goal. I am always passionate about what I do, career wise, I am currently the Chief Operating Officer of a manufacturing company where I have worked for 12 years; and I hold a Master's degree in Accounting and Business Administration. I consider myself a strong will and compassionate individual who tries every day to make a positive change.
