Dalila Garza, Lead Instructor
Bachelor of Science in Education, University of Idaho, ID
Dalila: "As a migrant child, I learned the value of hard work from my family; summer mornings in the fields and late nights at the bodegas. HEP students demonstrate the same kind of hard work, dedication and sacrifice. It is with these tools that anyone can reach their goals, fulfill their dreams, lead by example and make a change if given the opportunity. Here you have an opportunity. Welcome to the HEP Family!"
