As a Program Coordinator, I collaborate with a team to efficiently plan, prepare, and host programs, ensuring everything stays on track by creating timelines, developing materials, and managing logistics.

Q3. WHY DO YOU WORK FOR NFCYM?
I joined NFCYM in 2018. As a young person, I served parishes on the Mexican border since 2005, and this is where I found my vocation to serve God’s people by accompanying and connecting them to the greater Church. Through its mission, NFCYM has given me the privilege of connecting and accompanying His people from across the nation.
Q4. Who accompanied you as a young person?
There have been numerous people, but at its core, it was various adults who listened to my needs, saw me as an individual and not just a number, and above all, empowered me to take a leadership role in my interests, but also lifted me up and provided pathways to grow in leadership and skill.
Q5. WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS?
My top five Clifton Strengths are: Developer, Positivity, Belief, Empathy, and Adaptability.
What does that mean? My top strengths highlight my nurturing and supportive nature, driven by core values and an optimistic outlook.
As a Developer, I excel at recognizing and cultivating potential in others, while my Positivity inspires and energizes those around me.
