Elva Grajeda, Daycare Assistant Manager
“SCC es mi segunda casa porque aquí he crecido como persona en el lado laboral y en el lado personal como mamá. Para mí es un orgullo ser fundadora. Gracias a SCC que me a apoyado en todas las decisiones que he tomado. Yo lo considero una bendición estar aquí. Este fue mi primer trabajo y creo que será el último. Amo mi trabajo.”
“SCC is my second home because I have grown here as a person not only professionally, but also personally as a mother. I am proud to be a founder. I am grateful to SCC who has supported me in all the decisions I have made. I consider it a blessing to be here. This was my first job and I think it will be my last. I love working here.”
