Olga is a proud daughter of Mexican immigrants. From a young age, Olga’s parents instilled in her the value of education, given that they did not have the opportunity to attain one themselves. As a result, Olga developed a passion for working in the community with organizers, leaders, and educators to ensure students have access to quality education and resources. She brings over 15 years of experience in education and nonprofit management to her role as Senior Campaign Director at Families In Schools.

With a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California Los Angeles and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Southern California, Olga has demonstrated exceptional commitment and expertise in public administration and community leadership. Her innovative approach and commitment to equity have significantly impacted the organizations she has worked with. At Families In Schools, she aims to advocate for and implement programs that support educational success, community well-being, and parent engagement.  

Gracias, Mom y Pops.
