The El Paso Community Foundation and La Nube have named Gina Martinez as CEO of La Nube, starting later this month. She began her career as a special education teacher in Austin, and was inspired by working as a camp counselor at Camp Island Lake in Pennsylvania. “This is an opportunity of a lifetime and a dream realized,” Martinez said. “I started my career working with kids.
