Yuris is from Las Jaguas, Nicaragua. With the support of a scholarship from Seeds of Learning, she earned her high school diploma and a degree in Public Accounting at University of Northern Nicaragua. As a scholarship student, she also coordinated educational projects for the children in her local community, most of which focused on reading skills.

Yuris is happy to now work for SOL. “My principal goal is to help children, youth, and society in general to improve their educational attainment. I love all the work that SOL does to improve education in my country.”
