NMC Upward Bound Math & Science

✨ Staff Highlight Wednesday ✨

This week we are excited to highlight Naomi Garrido! 🌟

Naomi first joined our team as a Summer Academy Counselor, and we are thrilled to have her continue with us during the school year as an Academic Coach.

Naomi is a sophomore at UNO, where she is studying Secondary Education, Spanish, and Chicano/Latino Studies. She is also a proud Teacher Scholar recipient and an Upward Bound Burke High alumna!

She shared,

“I’ve always wanted to work for Upward Bound to give back to my community and to help students find their path to higher education.”

Outside of school and work, Naomi enjoys playing volleyball, working out, and volunteering around the community.

We are so grateful to have Naomi on our team and can’t wait to see all the ways she inspires and supports our students! 💙
