Mariel Rocha-Narvaez

Mariel comes from a family of doctors in Nicaragua, where her family still operates a ranch—giving cows a special place among her favorite animals. Recently, she earned her MBA and plans to pursue a Ph.D.. A pivotal moment in Mariel’s journey was when the film The Boy in the Striped Pajamas sparked a desire to learn more about the Holocaust and its atrocities. A subsequent visit to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum proved to be an  unforgettable experience that further deepened her commitment to understanding and sharing these important histories. With over three years of experience as both a former employee and current volunteer at HRA18, Mariel is deeply passionate about people and driven to serve with excellence. Her dedication and enthusiasm make her a valued member of the team.
