About

I have been in the Fashion Design Industry for over 18 years now. I have a large background in Outerwear and Activewear for both women and children. My passions are technology and functional design. I love to "design with purpose".  

In addition to my current role, I am heavily involved in creating an inclusive community based workplace. I am Co-Chair of the Centric Brands DE&I Committee and run an internal magazine that educates, celebrates and advocates for Cultural Diversity. I am a member of Centric’s Latin ERG where I get to celebrate my Puerto Rican roots on my maternal side. I am also a member of the Centric Run+ Club and Bookclub.

My passions outside of design are mostly active based. I am into dance, running, yoga, kickboxing, pilates, and hiking. I am also strict vegan who loves to cook and entertain. My biggest loves are my husband and sweet pups Willow and Gino. 

Socially, I believe in giving back to the community and making the world a better place. I am an in house adult caretaker as well as a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC. I also do volunteer work throughout the city. Currently, I am in the process of putting together a program for girls to build self esteem in learning how to sew and create fashion.
