I joined Voices in 2007 as the founding Business Manager and as a founding Voices parent. With Voices Founder and former CEO Frances Teso, I helped establish Voices and make it the excellent educational option that it is today. Using my years of knowledge and successful experience, I empower Voices’ Human Resources, Operations, Technology and Finance Teams. I am passionate about ensuring Voices is a safe learning environment for all students. Born in El Paso, Texas, but raised in East San Jose, I am a local through and through. Wanting to fight the status quo I pursued a higher education to serve as a role model for my children. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing and MBA from San Jose State University. I am proud to represent my family as first generation college graduate. After raising three children, I recently became an empty nester and now enjoy spending free time at CrossFit and traveling with my husband.
