Upon hearing that ALPFA Boston was launching a mentorship program, I immediately sought out to apply. I am the first of my large family to graduate from college and pursue a profession and being so new to the business world, I quickly realized there is a lot to learn without a lot of time to learn it.

My first encounter with ALPFA was in April 2008 at the Women of ALPFA event hosted by the Atlanta Chapter. This event was amazing and I fell in love with this organization not only because of its empowerment of women (go women power!), but also because of its empowerment of Latinos! Although I am a first generation American, I am true to my Colombiana roots and a strong supporter of the Latino leadership movement.

I encourage others to spread the word about ALPFA as an organization that continuously provides and offers many life-changing opportunities to so many individuals.

Like many of ALPFA's members, my mom came to this country with no higher education, but despite that had the industriousness and entrepreneurial spirit to start two successful businesses. Growing up I was always encouraged to attend college, but encouragement was the extent of educational help that was provided by my parents since my parents were not able to help me with homework or understand the need for expenses like SAT preparation classes.
