President, Board of Trustees
Loana was born in Queens, NY but was raised in Puerto Rico from the age of 6 months. She worked for 22 years at the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company, a government agency. Loana took an early retirement in February of 2011. She was a member of the Unity Church of Carolina, PR, and served as the Secretary, Vice President and President when needed. Loana moved to Florida in January, 2017 and has been here ever since. After retirement she dedicated herself to working with a non-profit organization that ministered to emotionally codependent people through support groups. Once she became a member of Unity of Central Florida, she immediately joined the Music Ministry as one of the singers. From the moment she started attending UCFL, she knew that this was where she wanted and needed to be. It is her way of life, the way that had made her the person she is today…blessed in every single way. Loana has always been an active part of the things she really believes in and has always sought to help by bringing her knowledge and experience to help to build stronger minds and spiritual communities.
Vice President, Board of Trustees
My husband and I have been attending Unity of Central Florida since 2008. During our first visit this church felt like home. In 2009, we decided to become members as we love the energy and family feel of the church. My biggest interest and what motivates me the most is seeing my son grow and develop into a beautiful person with the Unity teachings.
The skills I feel that can benefit Unity of Central Florida board of Trustees include administrative work, coordinating and leading people. The volunteer activities I have served in include the music coordinator (since 2009), a prayer chaplain (since 2010) and am now a prayer chaplain emeritus. In 2023 until present, I have helped with the Tech Team and assisted with church administrative tasks.
For the last 18 years I have worked at a title insurance company and that job responsibilities include balancing the financial side of transactions between purchasers and sellers of properties.
I love the opportunity to see our church grow and reach as many people as possible. Once a person’s soul is ready, I hope they can learn the beautiful and life changing teachings of Unity. Teachings about our soul growth and how we are all one, no matter where those paths are located. I am not only motivated for the adult’s growth but most importantly for our youth and children’s growth.
I feel as a Unity of Central Florida board member I will be able to help find ways we can continue to facilitate that growth, spiritually as well as growth in our community. It is an honor to serve as a board member.
Treasurer, Board of Trustees
Moisés Del Río was born and raised in Camuy, Puerto Rico. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Horticultural Science. He has around two decades of work experience in both for-profit and non-profit sectors. Moisés has served in various capacities including management, production and research.
A decade ago, Moisés embarked on a quest to find a spiritual community he could call home. It was his dear friend José Builes who extended an invitation to a Sunday service that would forever change his life. From that moment on, Moisés found solace and belonging within the warm embrace of UNITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA.
Moisés has been an active participant in UCFL’s endeavors, contributing to projects such as the construction of the labyrinth, serving on the landscape committee, extending hospitality, and diligently maintaining the community’s buildings as a janitor volunteer. Through his involvement, UCFL has played a pivotal role in his personal healing journey.
Now, Moisés believes it’s time to reciprocate the love, compassion, and peace that the members of UCFL have graciously bestowed upon him. He is eager to give back to the community that has become an integral part of his life and healing process.
Board of Trustees
I’m a graduate of Columbia University, involved primarily in the design and implementation of computer systems, instrumentation and interfaces. I have led teams as large as 50 at Hughes Aircraft in California.
I founded Mind-Brain Training Institute, which specializes in neurofeedback and infrared products and services to help people with a number of brain-related conditions.
I first attended UCFL in 2004, and found UCFL then to be welcoming, and its teachings in concert with my own spiritual beliefs. I am a student of A Course in Miracles and have enjoyed exploring even deeper with other students. I’m a long-time meditator.
My personal beliefs are very much in tune with the teachings of Unity and of UCFL. Today, my daughter, Anna, and I are happy to be members of such a wonderful church. I consider it an honor to have served two terms on UCFL’s Board of Trustees, including having served as president. My desire is to help re- build UCFL into the vibrant church community I see it becoming.
