From Our CEO & Founder, Mariana Martindale

“ALMA was born from my journey as a first-generation woman born in Puerto Rico, navigating college, career, and leadership without a clear roadmap. I knew what it was like to face closed doors, cultural barriers, and moments of deep loneliness — yet I also knew the strength of perseverance, faith, and community. Out of those experiences came a conviction: no Latina should have to climb alone.”

At ALMA, we believe in the power of community and mentorship. Our dedicated team is here to support first-generation Latina students on their journey to success. Get to know the passionate individuals who are committed to empowering the next generation of leaders.
