Outstanding Women: Sophia Dheming

Sofía Dheming es una catracha orgullosa de sus raíces.
 
Como agente de bienes raíces, Sofía se enorgullece de poder abrir las puertas del sueño americano y recordarle día a día a las personas de nuestra comunidad latina que si se puede lograr ese sueño de tener una propia vivienda.
 
Cuando no está trabajando en ventas y contratos de vivienda con su empresa Maison de Nola Realty, Sofía disfruta ir a los diferentes festivales que la ciudad ofrece casi todos los fines de semana y pasar ahí tiempo con su familia y amigos.
 
Sofía quiere que se cambie la percepción de que los latinos llegan a este país a “quitar trabajo y oportunidades”. Al contrario, ella está convencida de que “este es el país de las oportunidades y vinimos aquí trabajar para mejorarlo”. Sofía nos recuerda con el mismo entusiasmo con el que trabaja para sus clientes que, “El límite es el cielo”.

Outstanding Women: Paula Polito

Meet Paula Polito, the heart and soul behind Beary Cherry Tree, a beloved child development center in Jefferson Parish. Paula received her Doctorate in Philosophy with a concentration in Urban Studies/Affairs from the University of New Orleans. Paula's passion for Early Care and Education shines through in every aspect of her work. Not only does she oversee the center's day-to-day operations, but she also tirelessly advocates for quality childcare.
 
As a contract trainer for Teachstone, the maker of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System® (CLASS), Paula is dedicated to ensuring that teacher-child interactions at Beary Cherry Tree surpass industry standards and that every child receives the best possible start in life.
 
Driven by the success stories of the children in her care, Paula wears many hats in her community. From chairing the Louisiana Department of Education Advisory Board to serving on various commissions and councils, she's a true advocate for early childhood education at the state and local levels.
 
She prioritizes respect, kindness, and honesty in all that she does. Paula and her husband teach their three children these values and the importance of a strong work ethic. When she's not busy making a difference, Paula loves spending quality time with her family and friends, staying active, and championing the cause of all children. "I yearn for the day when our area views the childcare industry as a critical component of the economy. I would also like a stronger investment in our youngest learners,” she says.
 
With Paula leading the charge, that dream might just become a reality. Help us congratulate Paula Polito on being an outstanding woman!
