Chief Operating Officer

Jessica Valdez is currently the Chief Operating Officer overseeing the successful delivery of all programs. Jessica has a long history and relationship with C5LA first as a student participant in the program from 2006-2011, as a C.I.T., a counselor, program supervisor and now senior program director. She has been very involved with our Alumni Board providing opportunities for graduates of the program to stay connected to C5LA. Jessica hopes C5LA can continue to offer support/resources to our leaders once they are in college and when she isn't attending birthday parties and sporting events of our leaders, she enjoys spending time with her family. Some of Jessica's favorite things are Beyonce, The Los Angeles Dodgers, and traveling. Jessica holds a BA in Sociology and Spanish from UCLA and is currently taking business classes at PCC.
