1. What advice would you give to other professionals looking to support and uplift the Hispanic community in their industries?

My advice to other professionals is to be intentional about understanding the unique challenges and strengths of the Hispanic community. It’s important to create inclusive opportunities that acknowledge cultural differences while providing the necessary resources and support. Building trust within the community is key, and this often comes from offering education, training, and mentorship programs that are accessible and relevant to their specific needs. Additionally, advocating for representation in leadership roles within your industry can significantly impact how the community is served and uplifted.

2. What initiatives or programs have you implemented to support the construction community?

At HDS Biz Solutions, we have implemented several initiatives to support the construction community. We offer specialized training programs designed to help contractors and construction professionals navigate the complexities of obtaining licenses in multiple states. These programs not only provide the technical knowledge required but also focus on business management skills, enabling professionals to grow their businesses sustainably. Additionally, we’ve created training specifically for Hispanic contractors to help them understand the legal and regulatory environment across different states, ensuring they can compete fairly and effectively regardless of where they operate.

3. How has your work in the construction industry impacted the Hispanic community, both personally and professionally?

My work in the construction industry has had a significant impact on the Hispanic community, both personally and professionally. On a personal level, it has allowed me to connect deeply with individuals who share my cultural background and face similar challenges. Professionally, it has been incredibly rewarding to see many Hispanic contractors grow their businesses and achieve success in an industry where they were previously underrepresented. By providing education, resources, and support, I’ve been able to help bridge the gap for many Hispanic professionals, empowering them to reach their full potential.

4. What inspired you to dedicate your career to serving the construction industry?

My inspiration to dedicate my career to the construction industry comes from a combination of personal experience and a desire to make a meaningful impact. Coming from a background where I witnessed the struggles of small business owners, particularly in the construction sector, I realized there was a significant need for support and guidance. This motivated me to use my skills in management and leadership to create a platform that not only helps businesses succeed but also empowers communities to reach their full potential.

5. How has your background and personal experiences influenced your dedication to this cause?

My background as an immigrant and a member of the Hispanic community has deeply influenced my dedication to this cause. Having faced the challenges of adapting to a new country and industry, I understand firsthand the barriers that many Hispanic professionals encounter. This personal connection drives me to ensure that others have the resources, support, and opportunities they need to overcome these challenges. My experiences have taught me the value of perseverance, education, and community, and these principles are at the core of everything I do in my work.
