Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley is an all-volunteer board that relies on contributions from LCSV members and community members in order to educate, prepare and connect Latinas in the areas of civic engagement and leadership development as an expression of our shared values of service, commitment, and appreciation for the Latinas who have paved the way for our successes.
On behalf of the LCSV community of Latina Leaders, we would like to thank the major donors who make our work possible. ¡Gracias de todo corazón!

Santalynda Marrerowas born and raised in a loving, close-knit family as a first generation Puerto Rican in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, but raised her son James in the Bay Area. Santalynda earned a BA in Spanish Literature & Education from Douglass College and a Master's and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Rutgers University.
Throughout her employment, her father's advice has served her best. He taught her to not to see herself as better than anyone and not to see anyone better than her. "This has been an equalizer that has enabled me to do my work in so many organizations across all levels".
Santalynda "disturbs the comfortable and comforts the distressed" in that she facilitates conflict resolution, team building, and leadership development with a diversity and cross cultural lens through her consulting practice, SMConsulting.
Her desire to become a member of the Latina Coalition came as a result of an alignment in Latina leadership consulting and coaching. "The work that I do, what I have dedicated my studies and life to center on what I believe is [in the words of Kahlil Gibran], 'love made visible'."
