In addition to her formal experience, Ms. Soto has participated in service learning trips both nationally and internationally that have examined economic and educational disparities in areas such as the Navajo Nation and Cusco, Peru.
Ms. Soto earned her B.A. in Sociology from Loyola Marymount University and her M. Ed. in Educational Counseling from the University of Southern California.
