“I've learned a lot from Ingrid. She was the first mentor I had out of college. She gave me an opportunity to work in advertising as a Media Planner when she ran Anita Santiago Advertising in Santa Monica, California. She always spoke up for me when I was made fun of for being the new kid. Ingrid helped me recognize that the opinion of others is not as important as the opinion you have of yourself. When I left advertising to follow my passion for storytelling, ultimately obtaining my MFA from the American Film Institute (AFI), she always supported me and was always willing to connect me with like-minded people. She never questioned, criticized or judged my decision to follow my intuition. Ingrid's a wonderful human being, mother, and Boriqua. I'm so happy and grateful she saw in me something I learned overtime to find in myself. Thank you for taking the time to impact my life and teaching me how to impact others. ”
