Rebeca Huffman Nieves

Ivelissa Rios

Having been the first in her family to graduate college, Rebeca Nieves Huffman has been a long time national and local leader for educational equity and access. She leverages her two decades of executive leadership experience within organizations like City Year Chicago, NACSA, and Democrats for Education Reform within her consulting practice. Her clients range from individuals to nonprofits to foundations who want insights, strategies, and supports in fundraising, marketing, team building and board development.

Since the pandemic, Rebeca has had an influx of individual clients wanting clarity on how to pivot careers in ways that are more in alignment with their core values, culture, and innate gifts/talents.

​

Rebeca has had the pleasure of participating in various leadership fellowships and opportunities such as the Aspen Institute/New School Venture Fund (2009), Leadership Greater Chicago (2017), and she is currently a board member serving on the executive committee of WINGS, the largest domestic violence organization in the state of Illinois.

You can also find Rebeca showing up in her authentic self on social media where she’s amassed a large following of people who love seeing her make Latin dishes and celebrating her Puerto Rican culture and familia. Rebeca proudly lives in Chicago with her husband and two school-aged children.

Yo soy Ivelissa Ríos, soy de Corozal Puerto Rico. Estoy casada con la bendicion mas grande aparte de mis 3 hijos; con un hombre bello dominicano que es un excelente padre, un gran esposo, y me apoya en todas mis loqueras. Soy madre de 3 hermosos hijos: 2 varones y una hembra que me han demostrado lo que es amor incondicional. Ellos 3 son mi oxigeno y mi inspiración. Vivo en Orlando Florida desde casi 20 años y soy enfermera en el área de Florida central. 

​

Soy una persona que ama la vida y tiene pasión por la naturaleza-sobretodo la playa! Soy energética, espontánea, alegre de nacimiento y trato de tener una visión positiva ante todo. Mi pasatiempo es estar con mi familia , disfrutar las simplezas de la vida y estar en contacto con la naturaleza. Me llena mucho hacer reir y sentir bien a los demás: sea con loqueras en la cocina o dando consejos.  Todos mis consejos son basados en mi experiencia y lecciones que la vida me ha enseñado. Me encanta compartir alegría, amor y ayudar a todo aquel que necesite una sonrisa.

​

Gracias a todos por su apoyo.
