Nuestra Mesa Directiva
Nacida en Mérida, Yucatán y criada en Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mariana Orozco creció en un hogar arraigado en sólidos valores familiares, fe, apoyo comunitario y resiliencia. Estas influencias tempranas forjaron su profundo compromiso de ayudar a los demás y mantenerse conectada con su herencia cultural.
La trayectoria profesional de Mariana comenzó con determinación y coraje. Tras trabajar a tiempo completo para costear sus estudios, obtuvo la licenciatura en Negocios Internacionales; esa misma perseverancia sigue definiendo su carrera hoy en día.
Su experiencia profesional incluye casi dos décadas en Nike, donde actualmente se desempeña como Directora de Negocios de Licencias Globales de Productos, ayudando a definir las estrategias que impulsan el crecimiento y la innovación de la marca.
Como orgullosa inmigrante latina, Mariana aporta empatía, respeto y una labor de defensa a su trabajo. Su experiencia personal alimenta su compromiso de apoyar a las comunidades de inmigrantes y honrar los sacrificios realizados por quienes buscan mejores oportunidades para sus familias.
A Mariana le apasiona la labor que realiza EPHC y se siente honrada de fungir como Presidenta de la Junta Directiva, contribuyendo a dar forma a la estrategia y la visión a largo plazo de la organización.

El padre de Amaya era un inmigrante de clase trabajadora, de habla hispana y originario del País Vasco, España. Ella creció escuchándolo relatar historias sobre el fascismo y la violencia étnica, y sobre lo afortunada que era por haber nacido en los Estados Unidos. La educación, decía él, era la clave del éxito en este país.
Siguiendo ese consejo, Amaya obtuvo una licenciatura en Estudios Internacionales con especialidad en América Latina por la Universidad Estatal de Portland (PSU), y una maestría en Desarrollo Organizacional por la Universidad de Texas en Dallas. Resulta que su padre tenía razón: hoy en día, Amaya lidera el equipo de banca comercial de First Interstate Bank para el área metropolitana de Portland y ha trabajado en el sector bancario desde 1996.
Ella está encantada de poner sus conocimientos en finanzas y planeación de negocios al servicio de la misión de El Programa Hispano como miembro de su Junta Directiva.

Camerina (pronombres preferidos: ella) es hija de padres inmigrantes mexicanos originarios de Jalisco, México. Creció entre Oregón y México, y recuerda haber aprendido desde muy joven que EPHC es el lugar al que la gente acude cuando necesita ayuda.
Es graduada universitaria de primera generación; obtuvo su licenciatura en Estudios Hispánicos por el Lewis & Clark College y una maestría en Desarrollo Humano y Servicios Familiares por la Universidad de Missouri. Tras años de trayectoria en el sector sin fines de lucro y en la educación pública, dio un giro hacia el emprendimiento. A través de Galvan Consulting, Camerina transforma el caos administrativo y de operaciones en tranquilidad para sus clientes.
Kimberly Quiroz es la orgullosa hija de padres inmigrantes y residente de Oregón desde hace mucho tiempo. Como beneficiaria de DACA, comprende de primera mano las barreras que enfrentan las familias inmigrantes, obstáculos que han impulsado su compromiso con la creación de oportunidades económicas inclusivas.
Actualmente, Kimberly se desempeña como Desarrolladora de Negocios Senior para la Cámara Hispana Metropolitana (Hispanic Metropolitan Chamber), donde apoya a emprendedores en Vancouver, Washington. Trabaja con empresas emergentes (startups) de diversos sectores y ayuda a negocios en expansión a navegar nuevos mercados geográficos, asegurándose de que cuenten con las licencias adecuadas a nivel federal, estatal y local. Su labor garantiza que los dueños de negocios tengan acceso a las herramientas y recursos necesarios para triunfar.
Criada en el seno de una empresa de construcción familiar, la pasión de Kimberly por la abogacía y la movilidad económica tiene sus raíces en su propia experiencia de vida. Se siente orgullosa de servir como miembro de la Junta Directiva de El Programa Hispano, ya que cree profundamente en la misión de la organización de promover la equidad racial y la autodeterminación en la comunidad latina.

La principal vocación de Danny Rauda es la de esposo y padre de dos niños pequeños. Sin embargo, la identidad que más ha marcado la trayectoria de su vida es la de ser hijo de inmigrantes salvadoreños. Como el primer miembro de su familia nacido en los Estados Unidos, se siente llamado a utilizar sus dones para fomentar la unidad en la diversidad y promover la justicia social junto a los pobres, marginados y oprimidos, especialmente los migrantes.
Esta misión lo llevó a la Iglesia Católica St. Anthony, en la Arquidiócesis de Portland en Oregón, donde se ha desempeñado como Coordinador del Ministerio de Justicia Social durante los últimos cinco años. Recientemente obtuvo una Maestría en Estudios Pastorales por la Universidad Loyola de Chicago, donde fue uno de los primeros becarios de la iniciativa Haciendo Caminos y fue galardonado con el President’s Medallion de la universidad por su excelencia académica, liderazgo y servicio.
Danny cuenta con formación avanzada en organización comunitaria de base a través de la IAF Pacific y completó el Programa de Certificación en Doctrina Social de la Iglesia en 2023. Recientemente puso en práctica esta formación al organizar a inquilinos locales para llevar a cabo un foro de justicia de vivienda que atrajo a más de 230 personas, incluyendo a cinco representantes clave de todos los niveles del gobierno local. También encabezó una delegación al capitolio estatal para una jornada de abogacía por la justicia de vivienda.
Danny espera aportar estas experiencias en organización comunitaria basada en la fe, abogacía y liderazgo a su función en la junta directiva de El Programa Hispano, apoyando su misión de servir y empoderar a las comunidades latinas en todo Oregón.

Amaya’s father was a Spanish-speaking, blue-collar immigrant from the Basque Country of Spain. She grew up hearing him tell stories about fascism and ethnic violence, and how lucky she was to have been born in the United States. Education, he said, was the key to success here. So, she earned a bachelor’s degree in International Studies–Latin American Region from Portland State University, and a master’s degree in Organizational Development from the University of Texas at Dallas. It turns out that Dad was right, because today, Amaya leads First Interstate Bank’s commercial banking team for the Portland Metro area and has been working in banking since 1996. She is thrilled to be using her skills in finance and business planning to help advance the mission of El Programa Hispano as a member of the Board of Directors.

Danny Rauda’s primary vocation is as a husband and father to two young children. Yet the identity that has most shaped the trajectory of his life is being the son of Salvadoran immigrants. As the first U.S.-born member of his family, he feels called to use his gifts to foster unity in diversity and advance social justice with the poor, marginalized, and oppressed—especially migrants. This mission led him to St. Anthony Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon, where he has served as Coordinator of the Social Justice Ministry for the past five years. He recently earned a Master of Pastoral Studies from Loyola University Chicago, where he was among the first fellows of the Haciendo Caminos Initiative and was honored with the university’s President’s Medallion for academic excellence, leadership, and service. He has received advanced training in broad-based community organizing through the IAF Pacific, and completed the Catholic Social Teaching Certificate Program in 2023. He recently put this formation into action by organizing local tenants to host a housing justice forum that drew over 230 people, including five key representatives from every level of local government. He also led a delegation to the state capitol for a housing justice advocacy day. He looks forward to bringing these experiences in faith-based community organizing, advocacy, and leadership to his role on the board of El Programa Hispano, supporting its mission to serve and empower Latino communities across Oregon.
