Hello! My name is Ruby Cordova, and I am thrilled to join CLE as an instructor for 8th–12th grade students. Originally from Round Lake, Illinois, I graduated from Bucknell University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Linguistics. Previously, I served as an academic coach through a scholarship program focused on supporting underrepresented students in accessing and succeeding at highly selective colleges. This experience fueled my passion for education. As a CLE Instructor, I’m eager to build meaningful connections with my students and create opportunities for students to explore sustainability and environmental advocacy. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, exploring nature with my dogs on long walks, and staying active through strength training.
