Welcome From Our Co-Founder Jay

We are so excited that you have found the Honduran-American Association. We are in the process of officially launching and becoming a great hub of knowledge and networking for the Honduran Diaspora in the USA as well as for all of those with a heart for Honduras.

I'm an immigrant from Honduras, raised in my early years in San Pedro Sula where many members of my family still live. I grew up in San Francisco, California, where I developed a passion for community and social impact. As the first in my family to attend college, I earned a degree in Public Administration and am now pursuing a Master’s in International Migration and Refugee Studies at Georgetown University.

I co-founded the Honduran American Association to connect, empower, and celebrate our diaspora in the U.S. With a background in business development, nonprofit leadership, and community outreach, I’ve worked across sectors to build partnerships and support initiatives that drive change. I’m excited to connect members of our diaspora and spotlight those doing incredible work to uplift Honduras and strengthen Honduran communities across the United States.
