The PRT is excited to introduce our readers to the newest member of our staff. Priscilla Bolanos is taking on the role as production manager and will be responsible for laying out and designing the print issue of the PRT. Priscilla comes to the PRT from the Nogales International and her deep roots in Ambos Nogales, her enthusiasm and her expertise are sure to take the PRT to new heights.
Nine years ago, when I came on as editor for the PRT, I needed to learn in a hurry how to layout a paper. Having worked with Priscilla on the County Fair book for several years, I turned to her in a bit of a panic and asked her to teach me how to navigate the design software. I was not a great student, but she was a great teacher—patient, funny, and obviously skilled at her job.
Equally exciting is the fact that Priscilla will also be taking on the role of ad manager for the PRT, a job that she is uniquely qualified for. Her previous experience as ad manager, her contacts with local businesses and her exceptional design skills are going to open new doors for the PRT. We are so lucky to have her on our team!
Priscilla was born in Nogales Sonora and moved to U.S. after she graduated from Universidad de Noroeste and started her career in advertising and design at the Nogales International, where she worked for the next 19 years. She is also a small business owner. Cactus Social Designs offers handcrafted shirts, tumblers and gift items.
She lives with her husband Eduardo, four cats and a four-month-old puppy named Sally.
