New ventures and past experiences are paving the way for sharing what I have come to learn while investing in my career at the United Way of Northern California. Working there for the past ten years has been a labor of love, but I realize that our local nonprofit programs and services need to be seen as our comminity's assets. And they who know their business best need to tell their story; they need a mic! Therefore, I am determined to provide that opportunity in a new venture called Anteparare Consulting, providing advisory and acvacacy services, especially, for local nonprofits.
