About

<p>I am the oldest daughter of Mexican immigrants and grew up in South East Los Angeles. Ever since I can remember, I've always been driven to take care of my family and create more opportunities for my communities. When I learned about systems of oppression, my focus became gaining skills to solve the problems that impact us the most.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was pursuing a career in policy when I started working at the Geena Davis Insitute and learned how in many ways, media is more impactful and proactive in making change compared to a policy that was reactive and slower. As I interned for the Hispanic Heritage Foundation on their Code as a Second Language initiative, my passion for data and technology also grew. <br /><br />I sought a job at Nielsen upon graduation because similar to policy, it is an institutional company with the power to make fundamental changes in the media industry. Today, m<span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">y vision is to embed diversity in our day-to-day business decisions, utilizing data and technology to empower networks, distributors, agencies, media companies, advertisers, and more to own their inclusion narrative and offer a way to evaluate the impact diverse content has on audiences.<br /><br />When I'm not at work, I support my friend's community organizing and mutual aid efforts, and Latina-owned businesses.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
