Living Intentionally, Seeing the World, and Breaking Barriers

My personal brand
Task Master. My husband can attest to this when I come up with a new project around the house or decide to plan a trip. I get things done!

Balance is the way
I prioritize family and relationships that truly matter. Discover’s done a great job of emphasizing work-life balance, which I’ve taken to heart—by spending time with my loved ones.

The best decision I ever made (aside from joining Discover, obviously) is taking advantage of traveling. I have a wonderful husband who loves to travel as much as I do, so it’s been incredible seeing the world together.

Growth and change
I’ve made plenty of mistakes! I believe everyone makes mistakes as they navigate their career journey. The key is to learn from them while continuing to grow professionally.

I’m working on patience—I am often the fixer and want to fix things pronto, but I’ve found focusing on patience allows me to listen intentionally and understand what and how I can help.

DE&I and giving back
Hispanic Heritage Month means so much to me. This year, our ¡HOLA! ERG has chosen the theme “Breaking Barriers.” I want to focus on learning as much as I can so I’m the best advocate. I believe DE&I is all about creating a safe environment for people to be themselves at work. Being from a minority background, I do emphasize being respectful and inclusive of people I work with from all backgrounds. I’ve experienced it most while being a part of ¡HOLA! and seeing the amazing work we’ve done as an organization to empower Hispanic leadership in the company. Our ERG is consistently finding new ways to support our communities with various volunteer opportunities and finding ways to fund important programs.
