Biography
Ana Maria Soto is executive director of Latino initiatives at NLU. She came to NLU from Columbia College Chicago, where she served as director of Latino cultural affairs. Previously, she held positions with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars at the Smithsonian Institution.
Soto has been recognized in Chicago as an influential civic leader and was selected as a 2004 National Hispana Leadership Institute Fellow. She holds a Master of Arts in Political Science from the Universidad Complutense in Madrid, Spain and is studying for her MBA at NLU.
Soto says, “We must help form the education and business leaders of the future and leverage the huge potential of Chicago’s Latino youth. More and more Latinos are successful business owners and entrepreneurs. But frequently they achieve this without a strong education background,” she said.
“Now imagine the impact Latinos can have in the Chicago economy if class after class of Latino MBAs, education and healthcare professionals graduate and enter the job market.”
