THE PERSON BEHIND THE EXPERIENCE
A little more about Rosa María Ortega
Rosa serves as a Intergenerational Community Facilitator with CSX, primarily supporting Experiences in Dallas–Fort Worth. Retired school administrator and longtime neighborhood volunteer with experience in family engagement and adult-learning programs. That background gives Rosa a practical understanding of how people enter unfamiliar rooms, how group energy changes over time, and how small moments of welcome can shape an entire Experience.
Their facilitation style is warm, lively, and particularly strong at bridging generations and inviting contribution. They are especially well suited for Older Adult, Residential, Nonprofit settings, where participants may arrive with different expectations, comfort levels, or reasons for attending. Rosa focuses on making the experience feel organized without becoming rigid and social without becoming performative.
Outside of facilitation, Rosa is interested in family recipes, gardening, community festivals, literacy. Those interests help keep their public profile personal and give participants an easy sense of the person who will be helping shape the room before the Experience begins.
