Blanca Holguin: A Journey from Marine Corps to Financial Leadership and Environmental Stewardship
Blanca Holguin’s life journey is a testament to dedication, resilience, and a passion for both community service and professional excellence. Born in El Paso, Texas, Blanca has been a resident of Homestead since 2015. Her journey began in 2008 when she joined the Marine Corps as a field radio operator. During her four-year service, she was deployed to Afghanistan twice, demonstrating her commitment and bravery.
After her military service, Blanca transitioned into the financial sector, starting as a teller at Power Financial Federal Credit Union in 2012. By 2019, her hard work and dedication had earned her the position of assistant branch manager. Blanca always aspired to be a banker, a dream that started with her first job as a waitress at Golden Corral at the age of 16. Married since 2021, Blanca balances her professional life with her personal passions.
Blanca and her husband, Albert Diaz, own a farm in the Redlands where they grow longan and maintain a goat farm with 18 goats. Their goats play a crucial role in environmental conservation by trimming landscapes and maintaining the endangered ecosystem of Pine Rockland. This ecosystem is globally imperiled, with less than 2% left in the world. It is the most important junction for the eastern wildlife corridor of America’s migratory birds that travel from Canada to Argentina every year. By using the goats as an artificial fire, they reduce overgrowth and stimulate native flowers to grow, preserving this fire-dependent ecosystem and helping prevent massive forest fires.
In addition to their goats, Blanca and Albert also raise 30 chickens, producing free-range eggs which they distribute to family and friends. This aspect of their farm highlights their dedication to sustainable living and supporting their local community.
Blanca envisions a future where her farm reaches new heights, continuing to contribute to environmental care. Professionally, she loves her role at Power Financial Federal Credit Union, where she excels in customer service and enjoys helping clients find solutions. Her passion for her work is palpable, making her a valued member of the team.
As Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” Blanca’s journey parallels this quote, reflecting how her collaborative efforts in both her professional and personal life lead to continuous growth and success.
