Leadership Team

Lisbeth Valdez
Program Director

“My goal is to hold the hands of those in need and walk them and their families toward financial stability. We are here to give people the tools and knowledge they need to reach their educational, financial, and personal goals. As a first-generation immigrant, I can relate to the difficulty of adapting to a new culture, learning a new language, and navigating new systems hence why I am determined to help others attain stability.

I am extremely committed to this new experience at MakeIT Haverhill, a space accessible to everyone! As a social communication professional with extensive knowledge in computing, my work of guiding and providing knowledge has become one of my greatest purposes at a professional level. For me it is gratifying to contribute to the development of the community in the educational and work fields.
