I’ve led schools from pre-K to higher ed, empowered women worldwide, and shaped future leaders, all while serving with passion and purpose!

I love the profound sense of purpose that comes with experience. My journey has taken me from classrooms to global outreach initiatives in places like Mexico, Panamá, Venezuela, Ecuador, Perú, Chile, Spain, Thailand, Vietnam, and throughout the USA allowing me to make a lasting impact in education and faith communities. With wisdom gained over the years, I now serve with deeper passion and clarity, embracing leadership roles that reflect my commitment to purposeful service and lifelong growth.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by embracing the wisdom and experiences of my life, leading with purpose and passion. I’ve designed homes, including my parents’ house, and cared for them as they transitioned. Daily reflective walks keep me balanced physically and mentally, while I empower others globally, shape future leaders, and create lasting change through purposeful service. Staying fabulous means living with grace, strength, and love in every role.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would invest in the Ángel and Nila Murillo Endowment Scholarship, contribute to Aaron’s Foundation and the Baptist Publishing House Foundation, where I serve as a trustee, and allocate funds to build a meditation garden and library at our home. These projects reflect my commitment to education, spiritual growth, and creating spaces for reflection and learning, while supporting causes central to my life’s mission and purposeful service.
