Aurelia Bardales Ceron

(sHe/Her)

Board member

As a successful Latina committed to self-improvement and community support, I strive to empower those who may be quiet due to ignorance, shame, or fear (like I once was). Overcoming the challenges of my own language barriers inspired me to pursue a stronger academic foundation. And what began as ESL classes at a community college, reignited my passion for advancing in more than just academics, but a professional career.

Reflecting on my journey, and the numerous achievements that have shaped my path, I’m proud to say that my initial goal—to help a rapidly growing immigrant community—continues to drive me. Throughout my 15 years of experience in Human Resources and Finance for a non-profit religious organization, I have made significant strides toward this aim. However, my inner drive tells me that there is still much more to accomplish.

Joining the board of an organization dedicated to fostering a self-sustaining and supportive community resonates deeply with me. I am eager and committed to contribute, learn from every experience, and grow through every interaction.

My name is Aurelia Bardales Ceron. I am an immigrant woman, daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, and visionary. I am here to say “YES, I AM WILLING AND COMMITTED to this mission”.
