Founder & President
Saludos! I graduated from Georgia Tech last year with a Bachelor's of Science. Aside from managing this nonprofit, I work full-time as a EMT for Grady and coach youth soccer in Lindbergh. Born and raised in metro Atlanta, I love to give back to my community. I also enjoy going to the gym and traveling.

Arizbeth Gallegos Lopez
Website Manager
Hola! I'm Arizbeth and I was born and raised in Atlanta, Ga into a Mexican immigrant family. I am a 5th year business student at Georgia Tech who is pursuing an industrial design minor with language certificates. As someone who has lived in the Atlanta community and has been directly affected by the lack of resources for pursuing higher education, I am passionate about the GRACIAS nonprofit and its mission to help our community’s aspiring college students and adult learners.

In addition to serving as our program director, I am a lab TA for Freshman Chemistry, a research technician in the Bhamla lab, and a volunteer in the Klemis Kitchen. I enjoy the outdoors, paleontology, and learning about other cultures.
