Nuria has been a part of Casa - Pueblito since 2018. Beginning as a volunteer, a few years later she came back and joined the team as an Administrative and Donor Relations Assistant at the Toronto office. There has been a great deal of happiness in her life as a result of her newly acquired role and personal life.
