On behalf of our All-Stars family, we want to give a heartfelt thank you and farewell to long time employee Victor Martinez as he turns the page to the next chapter in his life.
Victor has been a Program Leader at AIUP for his entire tenure with ASAS-LA and was our first hire at that site. He is a high achiever, earning his BA while working with us all these years.
He was widely known amongst his peers for being punctual, kind, and fiercely committed to transforming the lives of the students we serve; even commuting from Riverside to LA everyday for work.
We wish him nothing but joy and excellence as he takes time to focus on himself. ONCE AN ALL-STAR ALWAYS AN ALL-STAR!!!!
