As a CISBF alumnus, I have personally experienced the impact of consistent support and advocacy during critical years. That perspective drives my commitment to ensuring every student feels seen, valued, and equipped to succeed. As president of a high school club supporting the Hispanic/Latino community, I gained experience in outreach, community engagement, and relationship-building that can help deepen connections with students and families. I hope to contribute both lived experience and a strategic focus on expanding access and opportunity in alignment with the Communities In Schools of Benton-Franklin’s mission.
