There's new job designed to bridge
the gap between the City of Poughkeepsie and its Latino community.
Julee Molina is Poughkeepsie's
first bilingual public information officer.
She migrated from Chile to the
tri-state and has cemented roots in Poughkeepsie through her involvement in the
community.
The city and the school district
appointed her to help improve communication and accessibility to the Latino
community, something she says she is fully ready for.
"I feel responsible for my
people, I feel responsible to help, and if I can keep someone from having that
type of terror, from newness, having that indecision or feeling awkward,"
says Molina
Molina officially started her new
position five weeks ago.
Public schools in Poughkeepsie
start next Thursday.
