Meet Alma

Alma is a lifetime volunteer who believes in the impact of mentoring. She has spent many years helping kids believe in themselves and achieve their highest potential through nonprofit organizations like Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Dream Angels, Inc. Alma retired from her professional career in nonprofit leadership in 2020 and today enjoys opportunities that enrich her soul by living in Costa Rica where she now makes her home. 

Alma developed the Black Girls Go Global program in 2021 … a S.T.E.A.M.-related global studies program in order to provide black girls with educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. She is the parent of a 30-year-old daughter (adopted when she was 10) and a 26-year-old son. She says “raising them has been by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done!”
