Alejandra de la Fuente M. Ed.

Alejandra de la Fuente earned a master’s degree in educational administration from the University of Texas at Brownsville and has worked as both an elementary assistant principal and middle school dean of instruction. Prior, Ms. De la Fuente was the first teacher hired in Brownsville ISD to pilot and implement the LUCHA Program in partnership with The University of Texas at Austin. For over 10 years, her work with recent immigrant students included reviewing and interpreting foreign coursework and collaborating with school counselors to ensure correct academic placement for “her kids.” Ms. De la Fuente is bilingual and completed most of her education in Mexico which allowed her to be the first line of support both academically and emotionally for these students; many of whom she now calls friends. Ms. De la Fuente is a fierce advocate of all immigrant students and the education they bring and has shared her knowledge of transcript interpretation with individuals and school districts from around the country. Her true calling is helping all recent immigrants reach their full potential and achieve the American dream.
