About
Ingrid Navarro Torres is a first-generation college graduate from Woodstock, IL. She graduated from Aurora University with a bachelor's degree in Sociology and Spanish with a minor in Latin American and Latino/a Studies in 2024. Her coursework inspired her curiosity and passion for learning and helping Latino communities.
Ingrid interned for Fox Valley Hands of Hope in Chicago's western suburbs where she helped create greater access for members of the Latino/Hispanic communities who seek grief-based services and counseling. The proud daughter of Mexican immigrants, Ingrid also helps manage her family's business. The explosive growth among Latino/Hispanic communities in Kane, Kendall, McHenry, Lake, and Will counties serves as a reminder to Ingrid that opportunities to design ways to better serve this vital demographic will continue to grow.
