Cynthia Salgado
Administrative Assistant
Asistente Administrativa
In Mexico, I worked as a receptionist for a Doctor. My family and I have dedicated our lives to the trade from making and selling crafts to selling abarrotes. Aside from working at Casa Latinos, I have a small side business and I also make piñatas. I like working with the Latino community because we have many things in common and that reminds me of who I am and where I come from.
