My decision to join Latinos in Defense  stems from a commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion within the defense sector. That vision might include leveraging my platform to advocate for greater representation and support for Latino communities in defense, fostering an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and integrated into national security strategies.

My involvement in organizations dedicated to propelling individuals to new levels of achievement and advancing women in national security aligns with a broader mission to create equitable opportunities.
