Welcome to FLORECER

Proudly Serving Yuma County, Arizona

and Imperial County, California

At FLORECER, we believe that postsecondary education attainment is a springboard for individual growth and social and economic prosperity. â€‹â€‹As a first-generation college student, I know first-hand the many challenges students face when it comes to paving a pathway to higher education.  â€‹With nearly a decade of experience in student services, financial aid administration, and Division 1 NCAA compliance at the nation's top public university, UCLA- I was inspired to create a space uniquely designed to guide our youth, break cycles of poverty, and increase postsecondary education attainment in the rural, southern border communities of Yuma County, Arizona. and Imperial County, California.  

​

I founded FLORECER to foster a flourishing, resilient community made stronger through the education attainment of our youth.  FLORECER supports youth to reach their full potential and flourish!
