We are excited to share a story of dedication and growth within the NB3 Foundation family. Erma Trujillo, Pueblo of Cochiti, has shown incredible determination over the past two years as she worked tirelessly to achieve her goals.
While managing the demands of her role in keeping the Foundation’s finance department running smoothly, Erma also dedicated herself to completing her degree in accounting – all while raising her 10-year-old daughter with unwavering love and support. Her hard work and perseverance paid off as she recently graduated with honors from the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus earning her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Accounting (BSBA).
We’re proud to announce that Erma has now stepped into a new role as Director of Finance for the NB3 Foundation. In this leadership position, she will guide our financial strategies and help ensure the long-term sustainability of our work in supporting Native communities.
“Earning my degree while balancing work and family has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences. I’m incredibly grateful for the unwavering support of my family and colleagues. I am proud to step into the role of Director of Finance, where I can continue contributing to our mission of empowering Native youth and communities,” she said.
Please join us in congratulating Erma on her incredible achievements and this well-earned opportunity to continue making a difference.
