Julissa Roxana Lopez-Calderon

Senior Manager for Student Enrollment and School Partnerships

Julissa was born in Brooklyn and raised between Santo Domingo and Harlem. Her own journey of migration and belonging inspired her to dedicate nearly 20 years to walking alongside Latino youth and families in NYC. She got her start at ASPIRA of New York, supporting student leadership and enrichment, and has since led programs in after-school, mentorship, and family engagement. Julissa holds a master’s in Publishing from The George Washington University and loves motivating others to write their stories and claim their voice.
