Office Manager
Milagros Diaz
Hello community! My name is Milagros Diaz and I have been the office manager of Inland Empire Immigrant Youth Collective since January 2023. I started working at IEIYC through an internship program and I cannot feel more happier, grateful and blessed to serve and represent the community of the Inland Empire and beyond. I have been living in the United States for more than twenty years and I decided to restart my education when I first went to Riverside Adult School. This school drove me to obtain my GED, and then to continue studying in a community college to obtain associate degrees of Social and Behavioral Studies and Administration and Information Systems at Riverside Community College - RCC. Obtaining these associate degrees let me to be transferred to UCR - University of California, Riverside in 2020. In UCR, I participated in the Butterfly project intern program the semester before my graduation. Finally, I graduated in June 2022 with a Bachelor of Science, Business Administration concentrating in Accounting and Auditing.
