Maria Paniagua

I am delighted to say that I have been with this school for 15 years. I started working as a custodian and eventually became a part of the kitchen staff. Prior to working for iEmpire, I worked as a noon aide for nine years. It has been a pleasure and will always be a pleasure to be part of this team.

I am from Zacatecas, Mexico and family is everything to me; my husband, Daniel, daughters, Elizabeth and Gema, and son, Daniel. I love and will always protect them. One hobby of mine is gardening. I love flowers and plants. I am someone who is always willing to offer a helping hand.

It has been a wonderful experience to be a part of this team. iEmpire has grown so much and I couldn’t be more proud. I would like to give a huge acknowledgement to the teachers and staff because though I only mostly speak Spanish, they always find a way to communicate with me. I always feel acknowledged by them. My goal is to always be welcoming to the students, so when they arrive at school they feel happy to be here.
