Marisol Madrigal Uribe

A proud daughter of immigrants, Marisol Madrigal Uribe was born and raised in Montebello, California. Alongside her four siblings—all graduates of Montebello Unified School District—Marisol attended Greenwood Elementary, Montebello Intermediate, and Montebello High School. As a first-generation Mexican American, she embodies the values of hard work, perseverance, and service that her parents instilled in her from a young age.

 

Marisol earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from California State University, Los Angeles, and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Education at Claremont Graduate University. Upon completion, she will be the first in her family to achieve a doctoral degree—an accomplishment that reflects not only her determination but also the sacrifices and resilience of her family.

 

For more than a decade, Marisol has dedicated her career to education, serving in multiple roles including tutor, mentor, policymaker, and college instructor. She currently teaches Chicano/a Studies within the Los Angeles Community College District, where her passion lies in empowering students through culturally sustaining curriculum and affirming the value of diverse histories and identities.

 

Deeply rooted in her community, Marisol is also a wife, mother, daughter, aunt, and advocate for educational equity. As a parent of children enrolled in Montebello Unified School District, she is deeply committed to ensuring that all students—regardless of background—receive a high-quality education that prepares them for college, career, and life.

 

Guided by the principles of servant leadership, Marisol believes leadership is about lifting others, inspiring future generations, and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Her journey stands as a testament to the transformative power of education and the importance of giving back to the community that helped shape her.
