Although Gladis Romero first attended Luna in the fall of 2017, she remains grateful for what the college has done for her.
Romero is a licensed cosmetologist in the state of New Mexico, something she gives Luna credit for.
“Coming to college at Luna helped me out in many ways,” says Romero who is a native of Mexico. “I really appreciate Luna.
Romero, who is a licensed cosmetologist in Mexico, wanted the same credentials in the United States and Luna was the school to provide her with that opportunity.
“When I got here, I went to the state board in Santa Fe and they told me that I had to talk to Germaine Sandoval about classes,” says Romero. “She’s an angel that God put in my path not just for me, but for everyone.”
Sandoval has over 20 years of teaching at Luna’s cosmetology program.
“Gladis is also an inspiration for me because of her drive and determination,” says Sandoval. “She is very motivated.”
Romero says that Sandoval is simply a great instructor.
“Any doubts I had, I would go to her immediately and she always found time to meet with me and help me,” says Romero about Sandoval.
Romero says that her husband Adelaido Romero also played a role in her success.
“He is the love of my life and he inspired me,” says Romero.
