Two Northeastern University staff members and a graduate have received Amplify LantiX 100 awards, given annually to the top-100 leaders of Latino descent across Massachusetts.
Amplify LatinX recognized Beyazmin Jiménez, a director of diversity, equity, inclusion and culture in the Northeastern’s Planning, Real Estate and Facilities division; Alby Ramirez-Mendez, a director of major gifts in Bouvé College of Health Sciences; and Angelica Vargas Martin, who had received her juris doctor degree from Northeastern’s School of Law.
A nonprofit that aims to advance Latino prosperity and leadership, Amplify LatinX honored individuals for their excellence and significant contributions in their respective fields and communities.
Beyazmin Jiménez
Jiménez has been a transformative force at Northeastern for the past two years. She made it her mission to connect with each of her 380 co-workers, implementing an employee engagement survey and launching a mentoring program that led to a surge in internal promotions.
“Being recognized by your team always feels fantastic,” Jiménez says. “My job is to support employees’ well-being and belonging and [this recognition also] made me feel like an important part of my team.”
As an Afro-Latina of Dominican and Haitian descent, Jiménez says being a part of the 2024 ALX100 allowed her to represent a group of Latinos who are often underrepresented in media or business.
In her DEI role at Northeastern, Jiménez works hard to create an inclusive workplace for her colleagues that supports their well-being and allows them to bring their full selves to the job.
