María Isabel Maldonado Ramírez Email & Phone Number

I am originally from Cuenca, Ecuador, a small city nestled in the Andean mountains. At 17, I moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where I lived for seven years and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in International Affairs from the University of Cincinnati. During my time in Cincinnati, I worked closely with Latino communities for three years, providing vital support to help families and children succeed. This experience ignited my passion for working with immigrant communities.I later pursued a Master's Degree in International Business from Florida International University in Miami, Florida. Currently, I serve as the International Student Services Manager at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida, where I help international students achieve their academic goals and thrive in the U.S.I work hard to achieve my goals and am always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the people I serve succeed. My professional mission is to continue advocating for immigrant and international communities, representing and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Latin America. I celebrate diversity, and I am dedicated to fostering environments where people from diverse backgrounds can flourish and succeed.
