📌 In 1977, my parents immigrated to the United States from El Salvador 🇸🇻, escaping the civil war that plagued their home country. They arrived here with limited resources, no formal education, and unfamiliarity with the language. However, their unwavering determination, strong work ethic, and solid family values propelled them towards success.

Throughout their journey, my parents instilled in me invaluable life lessons:

✔️ RESPECT: They taught me the importance of respecting everyone, irrespective of their background. This foundational principle enabled me to extend the same level of respect to others.

✔️ DETERMINATION: Despite the numerous challenges and roadblocks they encountered, my parents never gave up. Their unwavering determination inspired me to push through adversity and persevere.

✔️ HELPING OTHERS: Humility and compassion were ingrained in me as my parents emphasized the significance of assisting those in need. Growing up, we opened our doors to family and friends who sought refuge in this country, recognizing that we are all part of the same human family.

📌 These life lessons have shaped me both personally and professionally.

✔️ As a Human Resource professional, I embody these principles by ensuring that every individual, regardless of their race, gender, age, or background, is treated with dignity and respect.
