Description

Flor De Hoyos is Latina from Puerto Rico who is a force to be reckoned with. Her career has been focused on advocacy and support to adult learners, children and their families, and it’s her personal experience that is the underlying tool to her professional effectiveness. Flor’s ability to connect and empathize with families in her district is the key to the overall success in her current role.

After moving to the eastern section of Connecticut at age 12 and struggling to transition to a new school, she struggled with English as her second language and adapting to a new culture was challenging.
She shares her educational journey from a vocational high school to Johnson & Wales for a culinary program, getting inspired and moving into programs for Human Services and Social Work, and now on her way to earning her Ph.D in Educational Leadership. The road has been long and challenging but as an incredible role model to her daughters, and impacting so many people around her, her success is deeply rooted in gratitude and faith.
