Bio

Mario is the Development and Operations Coordinator for Equality Virginia, the state’s leading LGBTQ+ advocacy organization. Before relocating from South Carolina to Richmond, he started his career in non-profits as the Special Events Manager for the Columbia Museum of Art where helped plan exhibition openings, donor functions, and major fundraisers. His passion for philanthropy and community development blossomed over the many years he spent volunteering and working with cultural arts and LGBTQ+ organizations in the South. As the son of an immigrant father and a mother who loves to travel, much of his childhood was spent on cross-country family road trips between South Carolina and El Salvador. Always one to stay on the go, Mario enjoys running, playing piano, live music, and taking care of his spoiled cat Lizard.
