Location: Main Library

Claudia serves Durham County Government as the first Latina location manager in Durham County Library history. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, California by parents who migrated from El Salvador. When the family relocated to Asheboro, North Carolina after she finished high school, Claudia promised her mom she’d only live in Asheboro for two years. As fate would have it, Claudia eventually decided to settle in Durham to be close to her family.

Claudia holds a bachelors in Communication Studies from UNCG and earned her Masters in Library Science from NCCU. She has excelled at multiple roles within the Durham County Library system since 2013, and is a passionate advocate for early literacy in the Durham community. In her leadership role she wants to continue to break barriers and support marginalized communities. In addition to her professional achievements, Claudia is a loving wife and mother of one who emphasizes the importance of close family ties.
