Together we can make a difference.
Co-project Manager
Nusenda Foundation Co-op Capital
In tandem with Nusenda Credit Union, Roanhorse Consulting and community partner organizations, I helped to design and currently co-manage a community-based microloan program to increase access to affordable capital for low-income populations, Native American communities, people of color, and other borrowers who face structural barriers to upward economic mobility.
Facilitator
Center for Civic Policy Annual Retreat | Enlace Comunitario Platicas Comunitarias
I facilitated an annual retreat for the Center for Civic Policy (CCP) to onboard new staff members and gain clarity and consensus about CCP’s identity, who and where CCP is now, and who and where it wants to be. I worked with the leadership at Enlace Comunitario and a group of committed stakeholders to identify winning strategies to reduce and prevent domestic violence in Albuquerque’s South Valley and Westgate Communities.
Evaluator
New Mexico Immigrant Law Center
As a sole evaluator, and in collaboration with Mindy Gutow of Great Minds New Mexico, I have worked with the NMILC to strengthen their internal processes and evaluate the impact of their work.
Contract Grant Writer
Centro Savila | New Mexico Immigrant Law Center | Los Alamos National Lab Foundation
I work closely with the leadership of Centro Savila, the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center and the Los Alamos National Lab Foundation to identify funding opportunities and write powerful proposals that scale their services. I have helped to raise millions of dollars for my clients.
Program Specific Business Plan Creator
McCune Charitable Foundation
I worked with the McCune Charitable Foundation of New Mexico to create a business plan to identify strategies to sustain their grantee Enlace Comunitario’s Leadership Development Program designed for emerging senior leaders of color in the nonprofit sector.
Trainer
Transformar Consulting Leadership Development Program
I helped to design and lead multiple sessions on fundraising, strategic planning and financial leadership for Enlace Comunitario’s pilot Leadership Development program. The program aims to build leadership and non-profit management capacity of people of color for future top leadership positions in NM’s nonprofit sector, to assist non-profits working for social justice causes to have a viable pipeline of internal secondary leaders ready to succeed current leaders in the process of leaving, and to build a network of next gen leaders of color (a) with each other and (b) with established leaders.
Adjunct Instructor
UNM School of Community and Regional Planning
I teach Community Based Practice, a graduate/undergraduate class to help students identify the technical skills they will need to create and implement community-based programs and plans, and to acquire the techniques necessary for sharing those skills with community partners. This class bridges the gap between planning theory and practice.
Annual Report Writer and Editor
NM AmeriCorps 2019-2021 State Service Plan | Siembra Leadership High School | New Mexico Immigrant Law Center
I enjoy creating content and conceptualizing the theme and overarching message for annual reports. In these three projects, I partnered with Michael Quanci of Quanci Design to create a visually appealing report that engages readers and begs to be read.
