Tuesday Meet...

Angela Saiz

This Tuesday Antonia (Toni) Aguilar brings us our speaker, Angela Saiz. Put on your reading glasses and you'll see Angela is the second from the left in the photo below (next to that good looking guy in the middle).


Angela is a volunteer with the Valencia County Business Incubator (VCBI) and will be speaking about an economic development project she is working on in Rio communities called the incubator project.


Last Tuesday...

Leyda Hahn



Last Tuesday we heard the fascinating story of Leyda Hahn’s journey from Guantanamo, Cuba to Los Lunas, NM. At the age of 2, in the late 1960’s Leyda and her family escaped Communist Cuba and arrived in Florida with no money and knowing no English.  Life was full of challenges but Leyda has (in my opinion) lived out the American Dream. By working hard, being willing to go anywhere, and take advantage opportunities you can find success. And Leyda has.


Her professional career stated around age 17 when she walked into the local Kelly Services employment office asked for a job. Her maturity and intelligence (and FOA – Front Office Appearance) landed her a front office job with a large insurance company. In her free time, she visited all the different departments and asked what she could do to help. By doing this she learned how the company operated, got promoted, and became a licensed insurance agent by age 21. She started out in health insurance and then got into being a mortgage broker because she loved helping 1st time buyers. 


When the financial recession of 2008 hit, she left the mortgage business and stared working in the title industry. At that time her husband’s employment required them to relocate from Florida to one of three locations. They chose the Albuquerque area. Initially, Leyda lived in Rio Communities but in 2020, her company chose her to open a new branch office in booming Los Lunas where she works today as the manager for First American Title, at 3428 Hwy 47 Suite B.
