As the Executive Director of the San Luis Valley Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and a proud native of the area, I am excited to support and connect with our community. Growing up in the San Luis Valley instilled in me a strong appreciation for hard work and the values of resilience and dedication that define our region. I am committed to helping our community succeed and building partnerships that benefit everyone. It’s so meaningful to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones as we work together to create a thriving community.

Being bilingual in English and Spanish allows me to connect with the many voices that make up our region. I deeply believe in the importance of hard work, collaboration, and fostering opportunities for all. Together, we can leave this world better than we found it. Supporting local businesses is about more than just growth—it’s about creating a long lasting legacy of shared success for future generations in the place I proudly call home.
