Chanthy Lopes Toro Email & Phone Number

I am the daughter of immigrants from the Dominican Republic and attended public school in Central Falls, Rhode Island — the smallest and most densely populated city in the smallest state. Growing up in a low-income community with a single mother living paycheck to paycheck instilled in me that education was not a luxury but a necessity. Like my mother did for me, the desire to advocate for underserved students has driven my career’s work. I began working at an innovative urban K-8 charter school where 84% of students are economically disadvantaged and 37% English learners. Seeing students thrive academically despite many challenges led me to pursue a new opportunity at the Rhode Island Department of Education to engage more constituents and educate the public through storytelling, strategic communications, and engagement. That’s what ultimately brought me to Ed Trust — the need to continue working to close opportunity gaps.Read more about me here.
