About

I build ecosystems for visibility, voice, and change. As the Founder of The Apareció Foundation and Publisher of Félix Magazine, I work at the intersection of education, storytelling, and strategy. My focus is—and has always been—on women and girls who are ready to lead but need the world to stop looking past them. Through Apareció, I’ve created programs that meet students where they are and then raise the ceiling—on possibility, access, and self-belief. Through Félix, I tell stories that shift narratives, center purpose, and build cultural relevance around people doing work that matters. My background spans philanthropy, finance, and editorial—moving from the private banking world into nonprofit leadership with a clear understanding of both capital and community. I’ve designed national summits, raised funding through media, negotiated institutional partnerships, and built a model that prioritizes mission without sacrificing ambition. I’m interested in what lasts. In the work that roots deeply and carries forward. I don’t do this to be seen—I do this so others are.
