She’s a mentor, speaker, coach and author on marketing and personal branding. One of her passions, through her workshops and book “Take Charge of Your Brand,” is to help women, with a special focus on Latinas and other women of color, understand how to communicate their value and advocate for themselves by building a strong, personal brand.
