Maribel "Mary" Flores

Centre Director

I was born and raised in Mexico City and attended a private girls school. After graduating, I attended The University of the Americas (UDLA) in Mexico, where I received my Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Economics. My career has taken me across North America; initially working in the retail sector in Florida, USA then catering services and hospitality industry and as CFO at a drug rehabilitation center. I have always been committed to helping others, especially young people of all ages. This is a commitment that runs deep in my heart. I believe that establishing a supportive, encouraging rapport with students, allows trust to develop and thus the learning experience becomes more successful. It is my goal to inspire my students to work harder, by building on positive re-enforcement so they can be proud of themselves and their achievements.
