Hi, I am Eufemia Rivera and oversee the Caminos Program at the MACC. I have worked with diverse communities for over 20 years supporting non-profits and 10 years at the city of Austin. I’m proud to serve the community and our gente. My purpose in life is to build people and fill the gap along their journey. Caminos which mean path/paths allows me the opportunity to work with young artist and mentor them along their path that will connect them to their future. 

I’m honored to be a part of there lives and hope that what I impart and share with them stays with them throughout their entire life. Although I still do not know what I will be when I “grow up” I know it includes helping others. I earned my Associates degree first in Human Services/with in Management in Leadership. Currently I have a bachelor’s degree of science in Human Services and a minor in substance abuse. I am also halfway done with my Master of Divinity degree.  I’m proud of being Tejana, Mexicana, and honored to have obtained my dream of being an educated Latina. I could not have done this without the support of my husband of 21 years and the drive to be a great example to my 4 teenage children. I love that I get to work with our wonderful team at the Mexican American Cultural Center and am honored everyday that I get to be around young people who inspire me to continue the work of sharing my culture and history with others though the arts and food.

Con Amor,

Eufemia

Hi, I am Juliana Ramirez, and I've been with Caminos since 2023, having established my professionalism, communication, mentorship, and social media branding, under the "atxcaminos" page on Instagram and serving as a "Senderista" for the Class of 2024. This year, I am serving as the Marketing Specialist and Analyst of Caminos. In addition to my work with Caminos, I am a full-time student at Texas Student University, studying Marketing under the McCoy School of Business. 

Overall, Caminos has taught me to be more assertive and to advocate for myself and others, especially within the Mexican-American community. It has shown me that I have the power to shape the path I choose to walk, and that my voice is a powerful tool.
