Being able to help our Spanish speaking members in our native tongue is my favorite part of my job. It gives our members peace and trust at their personal level.

My great-grandmother Mariana was the person I looked up to and admired. I saw how she treated people with dignity, humility, empathy, and kindness. By her example is how my character and integrity developed and made me the person I am today.
