ACSí Se Puede Hispanic/Latino Advocacy Alliance > Meet the Advocacy Alliance Members
How long have you been involved with ACS and/or ACSCAN: 11 years with ACS and 2 years with ACS CAN.
Your cancer patient, survivor, caregiver, and/or connection story: Yes, I’m caregiver of my dad. He received a diagnostic of Prostate Cancer on February 2021.
Why health equity is important to you and/or why you are founding member of this group: Equity in health is the most important and essential thing we must present. It's not about who we are, where we come from or how we talk. Health is universal and we have the opportunity to provide quality time to every person who needs it. I am a member of ACS because it allows me to have a voice in Spanish. We have the power to impact marginalized communities only because of the language we speak. I want our voice to be heard.
Personal information such as family, job, hobbies, etc.: My Educational Preparation is: Bachelor in Chemical Engineering, minor in Pharmaceutical Engineering. Also, I studied Politic Sciences (focused on International Relationship). Currently, I’m working at Johnson and Johnson Surgical Vision as Quality Engineer.
