“Joining the Hispanic Chamber was one of the best investments I made to scale my business and grow professionally. One of the things that I will forever be grateful for are the relationships that my wife Andrea and I have built through the Hispanic Chamber. My favorite thing is to see friendships that were made through the Young Professionals further develop and now that we’re parents, seeing our kids establish the same bonds. ”

“It has been an absolute honor to be a part of the Hispanic Chamber of Louisiana. Through my involvement, I have had the privilege of connecting with exceptional leaders in our community and across the United States. One of the most remarkable experiences was being selected to participate in the prestigious Blue Wave Supplier Development Program, led by the incredible Alma del Toro and Eduardo Nunez, in partnership with USHCC Ramiro Cavazos and Mayra Pineda. The program’s content, guidance and mentorship were truly life-changing, equipping me with the resources and knowledge to collaborate with major corporations. In addition to my involvement in the Blue Wave Program, I have also had the privilege of serving on the Young Professionals Committee. This role has provided me with the opportunity to engage with talented and ambitious individuals who share a common goal of empowering young professionals in our community. Together, we have worked tirelessly to create meaningful networking opportunities and raise scholarships for Latino college students. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the doors that the Hispanic Chamber of Louisiana has opened for me. Being a part of this organization has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth. ”
