“Growing up in a second-generation Mexican-American community is what gives me a sense of identity and purpose within my two nationalities. As a Latina in sports, the sports industry needs to continue building a strong community in-and-outside the organization to better celebrate those of different communities and showcase our appreciation for our diverse identities. Celebrating the communities we’re in, and uplifting others are what help us cultivate a more well-rounded world.”

“Support is what Latinx In Sports means to me. There's going to be some people from our (cultural) community in both this and other industries that will not want to lend a hand. Though there are MANY other people that are willing to offer help: Going over your CV, Finding a job, Connecting people, Being a reference, Or by simply checking in with a phone call. That's how my experience has been since joining Latinx In Sports.”

It means that when people say, “If you can see it, you can be it”, it’s true. The Latinx community is comprised of so many diverse individuals and inspiring stories that impact so many different areas of sports. This community is inclusive to all individuals and is just as much for someone looking to start their career as it is for someone that has made a career in sports. Latinx has introduced me to mentors, friends, and opportunities to grow my career as well as share industry knowledge. I am thankful to be surrounded by a community that uplifts one another and wants to succeed together.
