The Beginning
I emigrated to the USA on my own in 1985 to pursue my education. I'm from Peru's southern region, which is known for its sense of loyalty. I was raised near an active volcano and the sea. Mollendo, a coastal city with lovely beaches, has a laid-back and peaceful atmosphere, but Arequipa, where I eventually relocated, has the allure of a Spanish colonial city. In my early years, these two worlds coexisted: one with the laid-back "live one day at a time philosophy" and the other with reverence for custom and history. I thus adhere to the same attitude of attempting to comprehend others' perspectives. This is why my leadership style is adapting and changing to meet people where they are.
A Legacy
The legacy of my mother keeps me grounded too. She died in 2020 and I couldn’t travel to Peru because of the pandemic. She challenged cultural expectations of what type of careers or jobs outside the home that women should pursue. She constantly reminded me - with her words and actions - that “a woman can do anything, anywhere, anytime.” In her eyes, simply trying was winning and there were no losers as long as one has made the effort to prepare, prior to embarking in a goal. She taught me to tap into my inner strength and believe that women create their own opportunities. This is why I support entrepreneurs.
Authenticity
I am authentic in whatever I do. I believe that actions speak louder than words. I am a results-driven entrepreneur with a passion for teaching and learning. I believe in the power of interdisciplinary teams because they build on each other’s expertise to achieve common, shared goals. I am passionate about my business because no single project is the same, I get to be innovative, apply cutting-edge technologies, and create new frameworks and methods to solve real problems that federal government agencies, universities, non-profits, and businesses are facing. My work keeps me on my toes since I must keep up with the recent trends in technology and best practices.
