"As the CEO/College President of Rio Grande Valley College and an educator at heart, I have been afforded the opportunity to graduate thousands of students in the healthcare field as well as creating pathways of opportunities for Hispanics in our region. Throughout my lifetime, I have been surrounded by wonderful educational mentors who inspired me to pursue a Doctorate in Educational Leadership. Through that experience I’ve become a role model for students in our community by proving “why” education” is the best investment in our lives."-Dr. Annabelle Palomo

Dr. Palomo's dedication to education led her to found RGV College, which has educated thousands of students in the healthcare field. Under her leadership, RGV College has grown to become one of the top nursing schools in Texas, with over 1,200 nurses educated through their programs.


In addition to her work with RGV College, Dr. Palomo is also actively involved in various community organizations, including serving as a Board Member for the Pharr Economic Development Board Foundation, the Pharr Chamber of Commerce, and VAMOS Organization, among others.
