Meet Future Teacher Ambar Castaneda
Ambar Castaneda, a 10-year resident of the city of Santa Ana, is
a 2013 NHBWA scholarship recipient and a recent Santa Ana College
graduate with a GPA of 3.43. When talking about the future, Ambar
says, "My aspirations are to one day be a teacher with my own
classroom and teach my students the importance of education.” She
has been accepted to California State University, Fullerton and
will attend in the fall 2013 to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Child
and Adolescent Studies. Ambar believes that teaching is all about
giving to others. Her involvement in the community was recognized
with the Presidential Award in May 2013 for volunteering over 100
hours of community service. As part of her extracurricular
activities, Ambar volunteers at Roosevelt Elementary School as a
5th grade teacher’s aide tutoring students in math and science. In
her spare time, Ambar enjoys baking, reading, running and playing
basketball with her sisters.
“The NHBWA has helped me accomplish my dream to continue my
studies and be an example to follow for my younger siblings,” Amber
said. She added, “It has helped me to keep believing in myself and
to keep doing what I have been doing.”
Meet One of NHBWA’s Newest Board Members Karla Hernandez
Karla Hernandez began her professional career working as a
subrogation adjuster with Farmers Insurance in 2002. She has worked
at both Farmers Insurance and State Farm Insurance as a property
adjuster. Currently, she is the office manager at the Eddie
Quillares State Farm Agency. Mrs. Hernandez enjoys working at the
Agency because she gets to utilize her professional knowledge by
educating and coach her clients regarding Insurance and the claim’s
process. Mrs. Hernandez earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Business
Administration from University of California, Riverside (UCR).
While attending UCR she was part of the AmeriCorp’s Program where
she worked with the community of Riverside. She had the opportunity
to assist students in need of tutoring through the bilingual
program in math and science. Also, she interned at the Office of
Mayor Ronald O. Loveridge, handling all of his Spanish speaking
constituents’ correspondence. Karla is married, has three
four-legged babies, and resides in Irvine CA. Mrs. Hernandez
strongly believes that you can accomplish anything you set your
mind to: the sky really is your limit. As mentioned above, Karla
