Virginia joined Filantropía Puerto Rico as Operations Manager in 2024 with 24 years of experience leading financial, human resources, and accounting operations in the private and non-profit sector. After 12 years working in the private sector, Virginia felt the need of pursuing endeavors where she could not only learn and grow skillfully, but where she could serve and contribute to a social transformation on our island.

In 2016, Virginia began working closely with former governor of Puerto Rico, Sila M. Calderón, as Executive Assistant, managing her office as well as other personal and business-related affairs.
