Leticia was born and raised in Mexico City. She moved to Los Angeles, California with her parents and brother when she was only fourteen. It was her dad’s dream to provide a better life and the American dream to his family. Leticia became a US Citizen after obtaining her BS Degree in Accounting in 1981 from USC.
Leticia is passionate about helping others, when she became aware of the amazing work her colleagues at B Walker Ranch had been doing to support children and young adults with autism, she felt motivated to help. Similarly with Rotary of Concord, when she began to meet many community leaders who were involved with Rotary, it was easy to see that it was a good fit for the “service above self” philosophy embodied by this amazing organization. Leticia was invited and joined the club in 2013, immediately she felt at home with the spirit of fellowship and service that the members shared with each other. Leticia gives a portion of her income after each sale, in addition to volunteering my time and energy, to further the work and awareness of B Walker Ranch and Rotary Club of Concord. Building into the community where we live is very important to Leticia, bringing together her business, her clients and the worthy causes inspires her to give it her all. There is so much joy in giving. While Leticia’s family and work occupy much of her time and resources, she also pays it forward to others by helping make the world a better place.
