Cinthia was born in Colorado but raised in Mexico until she moved back to the states permanently at 6-years old, which is a similar story to the families she serves today. She started at Corners Outreach as a Program Director in 2016 and in 2023 was promoted to Executive Director of Corners Academy. Early in her career, she helped built a foundation for Corners that serves over 600 families and now helps other Program Directors do the same. By partnering with Cox Campus and the Atlanta Speech School, along with her certifications, Cinthia is leading Corners Academy to a brighter future. 

I was born here in the states but grew up in Mexico until I was 6 years old. I had to learn to speak English and adjust to the culture. This is something the families at Corners Outreach go through as well. I am able to support and encourage our students to learn English as their second language and be a support system to their families.
