About Me

Bianca Alvarado

Bianca Alvarado grew up on both sides of the Tijuana/San Diego Border. Although the border brought many challenges growing up, now it has become a meaningful place for opportunity.
Bianca is an educator with over 8 years of experience in innovative program design and management, online curriculum development, and educational technology. She is a community leader with over 7 years of experience engaging in projects related to community development, STEM, and workforce development. She has used her diverse and multidisciplinary background in working with nonprofits, technology, and education to become an eLearning specialist and consultant.
With the help of the US Department of State and an Alumni TIES grant, Casa Azul Productions’ Apprenticeship Program came to life. Now it has evolved into Casa Azul Productions, where her work consists of taking other organizations’ programs online and creating digital media content that is sensible to youth needs based on culture and demographics.
