Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Julia Ruedas

I had the honor of attending the El Monte Women’s Club Scholarship Dinner, an evening dedicated to celebrating the achievements, resilience, and promise of outstanding students in our community. Hearing their stories and aspirations was truly inspiring.

It was especially meaningful to see a student I have the privilege of mentoring recognized as a 2025 scholarship recipient and her journey at Georgetown University.

Moments like these highlight the transformative power of education, mentorship, and community support.👏🏻✨
