Excerpt from [Hispanic Executive](http://hispanicexecutive.com/2013/the-guardian-life-insurance-company-of-america/) -- "Today, I am assistant vice president and senior counsel for The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, a life insurance and financial services provider. As AVP and senior counsel, I develop and implement lobbying strategy for several issues, including life insurance, investments, dental, and federal health-care reform. I also provide regular briefings to senior executives on relevant legislative and political developments. I spend a lot of time on the road traveling to state capitols to meet with legislators and insurance regulators. With the support of Guardian, I recently enrolled in New York University’s executive MBA program where I plan to specialize in leadership. In my spare time, I host a women’s leadership podcast and I speak at women’s leadership events."
