As the Manager of Community Engagement-School Partnership, Daisy oversees and manages the relationships with our partner schools. She works to create efficient education experiences to strengthen family/school collaboration by providing workshops and important resources to schools and families.

Daisy previously served as Community Coordinator in a PreK-8 school district. There, she was responsible for maintaining strong relationships with community partners, created programs and initiatives to help support students/families in need, and facilitated professional development for families, staff, and community leaders. She also served as a racial healing practitioner through TRHT Greater Chicago (Truth, Racial Healing, & Transformation), a community-led movement designed to promote racial equity, heal communities, and transform systems by focusing on narrative change, racial healing circles, and systemic policy.

Growing up as a first generation college graduate, Daisy understands the complexities of navigating through a system that is continuously changing and hopes to be a bridge of the gap that keeps historically excluded students and families from succeeding.

Daisy is a graduate of Western Illinois University, was recognized as  2022 Latinos in Lake County Recipient by the Office of the Lake County States Attorney, Liderazgo 2020 cohort graduate from Mano a Mano, and holds a certificate from Chicago Booth, the University of Chicago Booth School of Business “Choosing Leadership” Spring 2026.
