Dra. Lorena has played a pivotal role in my life. She supports, encourages and most importantly challenges me. It was because of her that I stepped out of my comfort and took on new challenges and roles that ultimately have led me to greater success. She gives a bright and positive outlook on life and helped me realize the importance of growth, reflection, and change. I am extremely grateful to have her as my femtor.

She has a heart of gold and truly INSPIRES..

A JEDI warrior in her own right, she is committed to amplifying the voices of marginalized communities.
