Autorenporträt
Dr. ELAINE RUIZ-LÓPEZ was born to working-class parents in the South Bronx, where she persevered as a teen mom high school "pushout" to earn advanced degrees, including a doctorate from Columbia University's Teachers College. A passionate advocate for immigrant and diverse communities, she founded New York's International Leadership Charter High School in 2006 to provide rigorous, college-prep education for underserved youth. Over the years, Bronx officials have presented Dr. Ruiz López and the International Leadership Charter High School with proclamations. In 2022 she was recognized as one of the Power Women of the Bronx. In June 2023 she was recognized by the Black Latinx Asian Charter Coalition (BLACC) and presented with the Educator of Excellence Award at the Mosaic Gala. She currently resides in her beloved neighborhood, the Bronx, with her husband, Tony López.
