watering the roots that got me to where I am today.

Community involvement

I am an advocate for DE&I and mentorship within my community. I am filled with gratitude and joy when I have the opportunity to pass on what I know to others or help organizations that align with my values. I serve on boards and committees for organizations within the financial industry or for companies making an impact.

  • CFP Board Ambassador: Serving as a trusted voice in financial planning, I help promote the value of working with a CFP® professional by providing financial education, insights, and advocacy to the broader community.

  • SER Latino Summit. Planning committee member. This is a conference geared toward creating an inclusive space in the industry for Latino financial professionals with the goal of supporting, educating, and recharging in a way conferences haven’t done before.

  • Remarkably Us: Founding board member. This is a non-profit focused on empowering Latinas in the California foster care system through networking, skill development, and transformative experiences.

  • Ready to Succeed LA. Youth Leadership Council. This is a nonprofit that supports foster youth education to prepare for life after college.

  • American College Next Gen Advisory Task Force. Task force member. This is a group dedicated to driving change, cultivating environments that foster talent through inclusion and belonging, and shaping the future of the financial services industry.

  • Financial Planning Association's NextGen National Leadership: DE&I representative. I am a liaison focused on promoting NexGen diversity, equity, and inclusion and bringing awareness to NexGen programs and resources.

I extend my reach through my social media @migloriaco

 I actively encourage Latinos & first gen to redefine their relationship with money, empower them to build wealth, and educate them about the myths we hear about money.
