Meet the founders


our vision

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Dream it

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.

Build it

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.

Founder

Turner Construction Company

Greetings! I'm driven by the mission behind The Hispanic Collective, which was inspired by my journey as a young Puerto Rican from Yonkers, NY. My goal is to create a platform that unlocks the potential in others, motivated by a deep-rooted desire to succeed. My focus lies in motivation, inspiration, leadership, creating opportunities, and helping individuals unearth their inner strength.

In pursuit of The Hispanic Collective's vision, I'm dedicated to personal growth, striving to evolve into the best version of myself. Interacting with impactful leaders and professionals within our organization and industry fuels this aspiration.

As Albert Einstein wisely said, "Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value." This quote resonates deeply with my philosophy, guiding me in both personal and professional endeavors.

Founder

Turner Construction Company

Hello there! I'm passionate about mentoring and guiding minds that are shaping our future and pioneering innovative thinking. Being part of an organization that fosters healthy relationships and supports continuous improvement fuels my enthusiasm. Through collaborative professional development workshops and leveraging our network strategically, we nurture and retain diverse talent, fostering an inclusive environment.

On a more personal note, I find joy in taking short walks on the beach and indulging in strawberry ice cream in a cone. These simple pleasures complement my dedication to professional growth and creating a positive impact in the community.
