Born in Texas and raised in Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico, den Uijl began her professional career as a Certified Public Accountant more than thirty years ago. After successfully completing her MBA in Mexican Taxation from Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara, she became a professor of Accounting and Taxation at her Alma Mater. She left her career in Guadalajara to marry her husband Henny and they moved their blended family to San Diego. After completing a second MBA in Global Management, she developed a successful career in corporate America. Additionally, she and her husband, Henny, established and grew their own marketing company.

After several years of working in the corporate world, she decided to establish more balance between family life and work. Her children were grown so she could now dedicate more of her time to community work. den Uijl spent the next nine years as a volunteer and fundraiser for Rady Children’s Hospital through the Rancho Santa Fe Auxiliary. Wanting to do more, she got together with a number of friends and started a new foundation called Rancho Santa Fe Tea3 Foundation. The group wanted to create a bigger impact in their community and decided to do project-based work with other organizations whose efforts focus on helping children, the military, and animals. The Tea3 Foundation believed this would provide better accountability for their donors.

With her “can do” attitude and positive outlook on life, she feels blessed to be able to provide a supportive role in making a difference within the community she loves so dearly. She lives in Rancho Santa Fe with her husband, Henny. Together, they have four children: Edgar, Christopher, Corey, and Kellan.
