Raquel Gramillo

My name is Raquel Gramillo. I was born in Mexico then my family immigrated to the United Stated when I was 4 years old in search of better life and opportunities.  We settled in Enid, Oklahoma where I attended Enid Public Schools until I transitioned to homeschooling. I ventured out into various jobs gaining experiences that helped me understand the workforce better. In 2020, I started my career in healthcare when I joined Great Salt Plains Health Center. I first started as a receptionist then was promoted to front desk supervisor before my one-year anniversary. Then I was promoted again a year later to Practice Administrator where I manage the business and operational side of our health centers in Enid. Despite not having a college education, this achievement demonstrated the hard work, commitment, and a willingness to learn can lead to significant opportunities. This opportunity also allowed me to find my passion for serving the community. Currently, I serve on the on the Steering Committee for the Rural Health Projects Family Resource Center. I’m a part of the current United Way NextGen Program. Recently, I founded the Garfield County Hispanic Coalition which focuses on supporting and uplifting the Hispanic Community in our area. Soon, I will begin my term as a board member for the CARE campus. I’m a Frontline Leadership Alumni. This course helped me grow and find the confidence I needed as a new leader to later be promoted into my current role.
