"Resiliency through Civic Engagement" The Randy Nuñez Story

Son of Petra and Ambrosio Nuñez, by way of South Texas and Sinaloa, Mexico, migrated to Washington State as farmworkers in the 1960s, Randy Nuñez grew up in the Yakima Valley.  While the environment Randy grew up in was beset with poverty and violence, he was fortunate to have had a supportive family, and community mentors for academic guidance and community organizing.

Recently earning his doctorate degree in Education Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Washington, Randy has combined his commitment to social justice and education.  He currently works in public education as an Equity Specialist, to train and coach educators in equity leadership.  His core belief is that when we prepare and support educators from a social justice lens, our diverse community’s assets are surfaced, and we work in partnership with our families for the success of our students.

Randy currently lives in Bellevue, WA, with his wife and children, whom are committed to familial well being by healing from generational trauma, and on a path of ancestral knowledge. Thank you Randy for all you do to make this world better.
