Hello Chambers family! My name is Samantha Rodriguez. I am second-generation Puerto Rican-American and very proud of my "Nuyorican" roots. I am originally from Queens, NY but my family moved to the beautiful Queen City when I was 12 years old. I will always be a city girl at heart, but Charlotte is my home now. I enjoy movies, shows, cooking, baking, concerts, and spending quality time with my loved ones.
I am a graduate of CMS myself (Class of 2013) and obtained my Bachelor's in 2017, majoring in Psychology and a double minor in Sociology & Criminal Justice from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Hello Chambers family,
My name is Jorge Regalado and I am very excited to work here this school year. I am originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, but have been living in Charlotte since 2005. I am an alumni and it is a great feeling to work at the high school I graduated from. I love soccer, enjoy reading and everything related to personal growth, exercising, dancing, taking walks with my dog, traveling with my wife, hanging out with family and friends, and going out to eat. I consider myself as passionate, entrepreneurial, caring, calm, joyful, and helpful.
I took a year off after graduating high school, then I went to CPCC to get an Associates in Arts and transferred to UNCC to earn a Bachelor’s in Arts with a concentration in Psychology and a minor in dance. Immediately after that I stayed at UNCC to obtain a Masters in Counseling with a focus in school counseling. Please reach out to me for any assistance or if having any questions
