Corporate Relations Chair - Building bridges between industry and the next generation of Hispanic engineers
SHPE isn't just an organization to me—it's a family, a community, and a source of endless inspiration.

As a Hispanic engineer in tech, I've experienced both the challenges and the power of representation. When I see other Hispanic professionals succeeding in STEM fields, it reinforces that I belong here too. Through my work with SHPE, I'm not just securing sponsorships—I'm opening doors for the next generation of Hispanic engineers who will become leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
Every dollar we raise, every partnership we forge, and every opportunity we create helps break down barriers and builds a more inclusive tech industry. SHPE has taught me that our diversity is our strength, and our collective success lifts entire communities.
My vision is to continue expanding SHPE's corporate network, creating even more pathways for Hispanic engineers to thrive in STEM careers. I'm working on innovative partnership models that go beyond traditional sponsorships—mentorship programs, research collaborations, and entrepreneurship support that will have lasting impact on our community.
