My name is Sonia Slone and I am truly excited to join the Advance CTE Team! In my capacity as the Director of Operations, I will ensure that Advance CTE has the operational and financial management systems, organizational processes, policies, and infrastructure needed to support the team, members and Career Technical Education (CTE) community. I am particularly enthusiastic to ensure all processes and procedures are in line with Advance CTE’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
I have always had a passion for education. Many of my family members and dear friends are educators and I am a true supporter of education as a pathway of achieving one’s full potential. I am excited to put my knowledge to serving Advance CTE’s mission as it aligns with my values and commitment to provide all learners with programs and pathways to ensure their career and college success.
For more than a decade, I have led the operations of a national nonprofit in the youth justice space which equipped me with the skills and experience to take on this role.
I was born and raised in San Salvador, El Salvador and completed 4 years of a dentistry program. Since I moved to the United States, I have dedicated my career to business administration and have worked for multiple companies in corporate and non-profit management.
I completed my undergraduate studies majoring in Business Administration and hold a Masters degree in Business Administration.
A few of my favorite things include: spending time with my husband and two kids, going to marching band and dance competitions, baking, exploring new restaurants, volunteering, vacationing to the beach and traveling.
