Forsyth Tech College Lift Program

“I have been actively involved with the Hispanic League and other community and national initiatives to support multilingual families by advocating for equitable education, access to resources, and stronger school-community partnerships. Through this work, I have helped develop programs that empower students and families, ensuring they have the tools and opportunities to succeed. I have lived in Winston-Salem for 24 years and have been deeply involved in initiatives that support and uplift the community, particularly multilingual families and underrepresented students. My work includes 18 years in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, where I served as a Bilingual Parent and Community Engagement Coordinator, Assistant Principal, and Program Manager for Federal Programs. Currently, I serve as the Director of the College Lift Program at Forsyth Technical Community College, where I focus on expanding educational opportunities for first-generation students and families by providing educational pathways that promote workforce development and economic mobility, empowering them to achieve long-term success.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and have participated in the Summer Institute in Public Education Leadership Program at Harvard University, further strengthening my ability to lead initiatives that create lasting educational impact.”
