Social Impact Finalists: Claudia Quintero

Claudia Quintero is a staff attorney at Central West Justice Center.

What are your proudest accomplishments in the area of diversity and inclusion?

As a member of the BIPOC and LGBTQ2+ community, I bring a diverse voice and perspective to everything that I do. I elevate the voices of marginalized communities, particularly from members of the Latinx community. My proudest accomplishment is not hiding who I am, but rather using it as a strength and tool to better advocate for my clients. I speak Spanish, and build trust with my clients because we have a shared competency. I am inclusive of all voices, from all walks of life, because we all bring value to spaces we occupy.
