Originally from Florida, Carolina attended Florida State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in International Affairs with a minor in Communications. Her upbringing, enriched by the opportunities she gained through competitive dance and mentorship, ignited her passion for expanding access to resources that empower youth to reach their full potential. This passion has shaped her career in social impact, where she focuses on building bridges between people, organizations, and communities to drive meaningful change.
Carolina is passionate about bringing people together to create real change. With a background in partnership development, program support, and communications, she loves finding ways to connect communities and make resources more accessible. Bilingual in Spanish, she’s worked closely with multicultural groups and across different sectors to build collaborations that have a lasting impact. Whether it’s strengthening relationships, amplifying voices, or driving initiatives that open doors for others, she’s all about creating opportunities that make a difference—locally, regionally, and beyond.
As the foundation’s Communications Director, Carolina is excited to leverage her expertise to amplify The Foundation’s stories, celebrate its impact, and strengthen connections with MAC members and the greater Portland community. She has particularly enjoyed collaborating with passionate staff and volunteers who share her vision of empowering youth.
Looking ahead, Carolina is eager to discover new ways to elevate the voices of young people and champion the programs that make a transformative difference in their lives. We are thrilled to have her on board!
