Antia Galvez
Antia Galvez is a bilingual economist and healthcare professional with nearly two decades of experience in healthcare revenue-cycle management. Based in the Greater Tampa Bay Area, her professional path began in healthcare revenue cycle management, where she served in multiple roles and developed deep operational insight. Driven by intellectual curiosity and commitment to growth, she expanded her professional trajectory into cybersecurity, with a particular interest in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) within the healthcare industry. Throughout her journey, she has continuously broadened her expertise, including earning experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Each chapter of her career has strengthened her multidimensional perspective and reinforced her belief that growth is rarely linear, but always purposeful. For her, reinvention was never a single milestone, it became a pattern. A discipline. A mindset. Antia attributes her success to the guidance of mentors, the support of peers and family, and the personal qualities that have anchored her path: resilience, discipline, self-belief, and an unwavering commitment to continuous learning. She is passionate about empowering Hispanic women in the professional sphere and advocates for greater representation in leadership and for expanding access to opportunity. She believes deeply in respect, courage, gratitude, and freedom, not only as values, but as daily practices. Her story is a tribute to every woman who has quietly reinvented herself without applause. It is not defined by a single achievement, but by the courage to become, again and again.
