As a child he spent his time with family in Chihuahua, Mexico, northern New Mexico, and la Plaza Vieja de Albuquerque, which fostered an appreciation for his mestizo heritage. Having developed a reverence for his mixed culture and a deep connection to place, he saw the need for a program that does the same for children in a world that increasingly values cultural homogenization and natural and human exploitation. Marco has worked as a bilingual educator and mentor to children and youth for more than ten years in various programs and institutions in Albuquerque. Marco is a musician and enjoys spending time with his two children, two cats, his dog, and being outside. https://www.centerofsouthwestculture.org/en/noemi-davila daily 0.75 2024-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ce83a6f6576e4c91f03576/b5784a5a-91a5-435b-bde4-4e137309da84/DSC00070-2-2.jpg Noemi Davila /en/ - Noem í Davila As the Center’s Finance Manager, Noemí Davila impeccably manages finances for more than 50 separate projects in and around New Mexico.

De niño pasó su tiempo con su familia en Chihuahua, México, el norte de Nuevo México y la Plaza Vieja de Albuquerque, lo que formentó un aprecio por su herencia mestiza. Habiendo desarrollado una reverencia por su cultura mixta y una profunda conexión con el lugar, vio la necesidad de un programa que haga lo mismo con los niños en un mundo que valora cada vez más la homogeneización cultural y la explotación natural y humana. Marco ha trabajado como educador bilingüe y mentor de niños y jóvenes durante más de diez años en varios programas e instituciones en Albuquerque. Marco es músico y disfruta pasar tiempo con sus dos hijos, dos gatos, su perro y estar afuera. https://www.centerofsouthwestculture.org/es/noemi-davila daily 0.75 2024-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ce83a6f6576e4c91f03576/fdd661d6-76ee-4ef2-b103-9df8bc329de9/DSC00070-2-2.jpg NOEMI DAVILA /ES/ - Noem í Davila Como Gerente de Finanzas del Centro, Noemí Dávila administra impecablemente las finanzas de más de 50 proyectos separados en y alrededor de Nuevo México.
