Higinia Medellin
Director
Higinia directs Pocket. She greets each family at the front door, speaks Spanish and English with them and keeps the center's license in order.
Higinia grew up in the Mesilla Valley, in a Mexican American family, and has directed Pocket since it opened as a ministry of Santa Rita Parish. She wants families to know her before they decide.

At the front door
Pocket opens at seven in the morning, and Higinia is at the door. She knows who is coming, who is new and who needs a longer goodbye.
When she is not at the door, Agripina covers for her. You meet both of them at the tour.
