Ruben Reyes

For more than 25 years, I have proudly served New Mexico students and families through the New Mexico Educational Assistance Foundation, helping them plan, prepare, and pay for college. My work has taken me across the state, where I’ve led hands-on FAFSA workshops, connected with diverse communities, and guided students toward their educational goals. Though my background began in technology, my passion has always been people. Working alongside the financial aid community has deepened my commitment to public service and my belief that education is the key to prosperity. As an active member of the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce Education Committee for over 13 years, I continue to advocate for access to higher education and opportunity for all New Mexicans. I feel fortunate every day to do meaningful work that strengthens our communities and supports the next generation’s success.
