Chief Executive Officer 
National Museum of Puerto Rican
Arts & Culture

Creating the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture has been a true labor of love by many on our Staff, Board of Directors, and Trustees. After putting up the world’s largest monuments to a flag, the Puerto Rican Flags on Division Street on January 6, 1995, I wanted to develop a museum that we could call our own. Collectively, we have worked on this vision for over 22 years, from its inception to our grand opening.  Creating the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture was not easy, but in 2000 we raised sufficient funds to begin the renovation of the historic Humboldt Park Stables. 

​

For the past nine years as the President and CEO, I have been dedicated to innovation in the arts, building partnerships, securing equitable funding and resources, and creating an inspirational space that is welcoming to all who want to learn about Puerto Rican history, art and culture. I hope our Museum encourages our next generation to celebrate and keep our Puerto Rican arts, culture, and traditions alive; to continue to ‘plantar bandera’ wherever they are.

​

Our Museum is in excellent hands with a talented and committed staff and Board of Directors that are dedicated to taking our National Puerto Rican Museum to the next level.
