Experience: Luisa has a strong background in public relations and financial risk management, with experience in leadership, diversity, and community engagement. She previously served as a Diversity and Inclusion Associate at The Daily Texan, where she contributed to DEI initiatives that supported underrepresented communities at UT Austin. Additionally, as a Finance Associate with the Financial Literacy Club, she helped create financial literacy workshops and advocated for a mandatory personal finance curriculum for students.

Currently, as a Community Engagement Associate with the UT Austin Student Foundation, Luisa leads campaigns promoting philanthropy and student engagement, including "Thank a Donor" and "40 Hours for the 40 Acres."

What I love about Girls Empowerment Network: What I love most about working with women is the opportunity to create a better world for girls. Connecting with them one-on-one and reminding them that they are powerful, capable, and can achieve anything they set their minds to is incredibly rewarding. Knowing that my work impacts them on a personal level and contributes to positive societal change makes it all the more meaningful. As a professional and leader, I’m proud to be part of a movement that empowers the next generation to believe in themselves and their limitless potential.
