I am a Community Navigator at RISE Colorado. Previously I was a Community Leader for almost 5 years. I worked in the APS school district for 14 years and got a lot of experience with families of different backgrounds. I am Bilingual and had the great opportunity to be an interpreter for our Hispanic community. Then I got the opportunity to get involved with RISE Colorado and I learned a lot about the status of all different schools and how the schools demographics play a big role in the quality of education and support each school receives. I am grateful to belong to this great organization because altogether with our family leaders we can research about the needs and benefits our students can use to succeed in school and as a community we can make those changes to happen.
