Lourdes “Morena” Anderson

Office Assistant

Morena joined the Mariposa Foundation in the Winter of 2023. Morena was born and raised in Montellano, a small town outside of Puerto Plata where she has lived her whole life and where she raised her two children. In 1994 Morena began her career in the tourism and service industry at Albatroz, a local Cabarete hotel, as a waitress and in 1997 transitioned to the hotel reception as an assistant to the manager where she learned a great deal about office administration. In 2000, she accepted a position at The Nanny Estates: Cabarete Beach houses where she worked for over 20 years and attributes the majority of her knowledge in office administration and property management.  Morena has been motivated by the work at the Mariposa Foundation prior to joining the team and loves the programs and watching the girls learn and build their futures. Morena is a proud grandmother to four and takes pride in being a happy person who believes you must always approach life with a smile.
