Our Philosophy

Cinthia is an equity, diversity, inclusion, and leadership development consultant, facilitator, strategist, and coach. She is a first-generation Latina, an immigrant, a bilingual (Spanish/English), bicultural immigrant from Mexico City. Her immigrant experience, combined with being raised in one of the whitest cities in America, has given her a broader lens to bring strategic transformation to organizations. She facilitates learning and skill development by integrating leadership skills across the organization using experimental learning, inclusive leadership theory, and use-of-self to create organization-wide change. Works across multiple dimensions of difference to help organizations develop equitable and inclusive strategies that facilitate communication and system-wide change.  She brings over 19 years of experience working with racially diverse communities and organizations in different capacities in Fortune 500 companies, for-profit, national foundations, and non-profits. 

Her dedication towards building a racially diverse and equitable workforce in Oregon led her to be recognized by the Portland Business Journal as one of the 23 Business people to watch in 2019. She is also passionate about building mentoring programs for organizations and Employee Resource Groups -- her models and passion landed her an opportunity to share her story on the TEDx stage this past January!

She holds a Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Management Certification from Georgetown University and completed a Masters in Business Administration from George Fox University. She currently serves on the Latinx Community Advisory Board for the Oregon Community Foundation and served in the alumni advisory board of the Gates Millennium Scholarship Program funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. She has also served as a national scholarship reader for the United Negro College Fund, Hispanic Scholarship Fund, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.
