Financial Management Analyst Ivonne Jacome is the Hispanic ERG President and works hard to bring awareness to the shipyard workforce on the opportunities available to her fellow Hispanic community. “The H-ERG is a safe place for Hispanics or allies to come together and ask questions and get assistance from each other,” said Jacome. “We’re here to support the deck plates and provide a judge-free zone where members of the workforce can come and share their experiences. I’m always humbled to learn from other Hispanics at our shipyard and learn where they came from. Being a Latina woman myself and overcoming obstacles throughout my life within the Navy – including being one of the first women onboard the USS Kitty Hawk – it makes me proud to help continue to pave the way for my fellow Hispanics and for everyone in our shipyard family.”
