De La Rosa retired from ExxonMobil after 34 years of service. As a Business
Development Manager and President of the company’s Employee Resource

and National Scholarship Awards hosted by the Hispanic Heritage Foundation.
In addition, she represented her company as host, keynote speaker, and
panelist of various events with organizations supported by the company's

rewarding role was serving as mentor to the young employees in her company
– guiding them through the corporate maze.
