A seasoned Human Resources professional with a proven track record of building inclusive workplace cultures and advancing equity-driven strategies, I founded Aurora Consulting Services, LLC to develop leadership programs and strategies rooted in psychological safety and cultural humility towards team collaboration and efficiency. I specialize in policy design, team engagement and leadership development strategies.

As a certified facilitator with the National Conflict Resolution Center, I further solidify my commitment to building respectful and collaborative work environments. My career spans more then 25 years supporting executive leaders and organizations in Healthcare, Hospitality, Nonprofit, Academic and other community organizations

I am deeply committed to community service and support as a Board Member and Mentor for several organizations including Outdoor Outreach, a nonprofit that empowers youth through outdoor experiences, MANA de San Diego’s Hermanitas Program, and the National Association of Latino Healthcare Executives.

A proud Chicana, born in Texas and raised in San Diego, I became a single mother at the age 17. Raising a son with a disability, and as an only child, I understand the complex challenges of navigating systems and barriers towards success. I am grateful for my family who provided the foundation of strength and resilience and have built a support circle of friends and family of diverse backgrounds. My work is informed by my lived experience and my commitment to building inclusive, cross-cultural communities and I am a lifelong ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.
