As the Liaison, she provided outreach to Latinos statewide and educated them on available state services. Benavides later served as Director of Appointments for the Secretary of the Commonwealth. In 2009, Benavides joined the Democratic National Committee as the Director of the Community Outreach and Voting Department.
