Planting seeds that empower. Revolutionize your life and grow a lasting legacy of wealth through ownership.

…and I believe that wealth is more than money in the bank. It's legacy—not just what we pass down in dollars, but what we plant in values: how we love, how we live, how we heal, and what we choose to create in the world.

My work lives at the intersection of how we think about wealth and how we grow it—through ownership, equity, and culture. Whether I’m working in real estate, housing advocacy, ethical e-commerce, or community business, my passion is to help others grow lasting legacies that reflect who they are and what they value most.

My Mission

to plant seeds through education, advocacy, and service—empowering individuals and families to revolutionize their lives and grow lasting legacies of wealth through ownership, rooted in equity and culture.

Buy. Sell. Build Wealth.

Whether you're buying your first home, selling a property, or investing in a business, I’m here to help you make moves that matter.

According to NAHREP’s 2024 State of Hispanic Wealth Report, Hispanic homeowners have 26.4x the net worth of Hispanic renters, and self-employed Hispanic households have nearly double the median net worth of Hispanic households overall. These numbers echo a truth that cuts across communities: ownership—of homes and businesses—is a powerful pathway to generational wealth.

My real estate and business brokerage referral services are designed to support that journey. Whether you're ready to plant roots or scale something of your own, the agents I work with bring strategy, heart, and deep industry knowledge to help you take the next step with confidence.

Housing isn’t a privilege. It’s a human right.

I believe that where we live shapes everything—from our health and safety to our access to opportunity. That’s why housing advocacy has always been at the heart of my mission.

Over the years, I’ve served as a Board Director and Government Affairs Chair for DAOR, sat on the Executive Board of my local NAHREP, and advocated statewide as a California Association of Realtors® Director—all with one goal: to expand access to housing and close the equity gap in homeownership.

Today, I continue that work as a volunteer with

Abundant Housing LA, helping to launch a Gateway Cities chapter focused on bringing the conversation around affordable, inclusive, and abundant housing to communities like Montebello, Downey, Bellflower, and La Mirada—all cities I’ve called home.

Too often, community members are left out of the planning process, even though they’re the ones most impacted by housing decisions. Whether you’re a renter, homeowner, housing provider, or just someone who cares about equity and access— your voice matters

Lending may be one of the oldest professions…

—but seller financing is still one of its most overlooked forms. Not because it lacks benefits, but because it lacks visibility and understanding.

I believe access begins with understanding. That’s why, at its heart, WealthRev is a growing education platform designed to empower everyday people with the tools, strategies, and knowledge to close the wealth gap through creative real estate and small business finance.

Whether you're an equity-rich seller, an aspiring buyer, or a real estate pro ready to unlock more opportunities for your clients, WealthRev gives you the knowledge and tools to structure fair and profitable transactions—without relying on traditional banks.

🚀App Coming Soon

We’re building tools to make structuring seller-financed deals easier, faster, and more accessible. The WealthRev platform will bring education to life—with technology built to scale your impact.

Currently Pre-Seed | Seeking Early-Stage Investors

We are actively building our MVP and onboarding advisors who believe in equity, access, and innovation. If you're an investor aligned with this vision—or know someone who is—we’d love to connect.

Books have always been part of my blueprint for change—from the business strategies of Think and Grow Rich to the systemic insight of The Color of Law. Reading has shaped how I think about wealth, culture, ownership, and impact—and inspired me to write, too.

While Secrets to Sold is currently out of print, you can find my bestselling compilation, Latina Empowerment Through Leadership, on Amazon.

I’m currently working on my next book, which explores the intersections of culture, wealth-building, real estate, and politics—and how we can create lasting change from the ground up.
