Thank you to the National Hispanic Business Women’s Association (NHBWA) for being honored as Woman of the Year in Education! I’m inspired by so many leaders making a difference in Orange County. Thank you for all that you do! It was wonderful to share this moment with my parents Gil and Celia Contreras and my niece Alyssa Contreras! Special thank you to Dr. Susie Lopez Guerra, Teresa Saldivar, Dean Tiffany Lopez, Vice Provost Stephanie Reyes Tuccio, Gloria Montiel, Miriam Delgado (doctoral advisee and scholarship recipient) and Martha Rivera who was honored for Entrepeneurship!
