Reina Gomez
Hello, my name is Reina M Gomez, I am originally from El Salvador. I have been with PPS since 2007. I worked in different programs such as Head start and ESL. Most of my tenure was with "Conectando, Instruyendo, y Aprendiendo" (CIA) program. My work was focused on helping children develop social-emotional, motor, language, and intellectual skills, and supporting parents to actively participate in their children's academic growth. In 2024, a new opportunity opened up for me and brought me to the Community Agents team. As the Spanish Community Agent, I am passionate about supporting families navigate the PPS system and collaborate with school staff so that students can thrive and grow.

La mayor parte de mi permanencia fue con el programa Connecting, Instructing, and Learning (CIA). Mi trabajo se centró en ayudar a los niños a desarrollar habilidades socioemocionales, motoras, lingüísticas e intelectuales, y en apoyar a los padres para que participen activamente en el crecimiento académico de sus hijos. En 2024, se abrió una nueva oportunidad para mí y me llevó al equipo de Agentes Comunitarios. Como Agente Comunitario de habla hispana, me apasiona ayudar a las familias a navegar por el sistema PPS y colaborar con el personal escolar para que los estudiantes puedan tener éxito en la escuela y crecer académicamente.

Mirna Ghamrawi
My journey with PPS began in 2015 in the ESL department, supporting newcomer elementary students to adjust to their new world and learn a new language. I am currently in the department of Civil Rights as the community agents team manager. My goal is to use the tools available to me in this role to align the community agents' purpose and mission with PPS's vision of the graduate portrait. I have the privilege to lead and support a team of community agents. This is a team of bilingual, bicultural individuals who support and advocate for our underserved immigrant and refugee families and their students as they navigate PPS systems and processes. Away from work, I enjoy being active in the beautiful city of Portland and creating delicious and colorful meals for my family.
