Antonia joined the Early Learning Hub in January of 2021, where she works for the Preschool Promise program as a Coordinated Enrollment Specialist.  Antonia has been working in the field of early childhood education since 2002 and holds an AAS in Child and Family Studies. Besides the privilege of working with children and families from various backgrounds, Antonia has recently worked teaching GED classes through the Adult Basic Skills Department at Linn-Benton Community College. When her time allows, Antonia likes to volunteer as a tutor for Spanish-speaking GED students and enjoys helping onboard graduating GED students into higher education opportunities. 

At home, Antonia loves to cook Mexican dishes for two teenagers that would not eat the food and for her soulmate who enjoys every bit of it. For pure fun, Antonia loves to spend time chasing waterfalls, swimming in cold rivers, and hiking.
