Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 190 (Friday, December 20, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 190 (Friday, December 20, 2024)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E1326-E1327] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING GENESIS SANTIAGO ______ HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON of florida in the house of representatives Friday, December 20, 2024 Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the outstanding service of Genesis Santiago, who has made an exceptional contribution to my office during her time as a Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Fellow. Genesis has served with distinction in my office and dedicated her time to serving the people of Florida's 24th Congressional District. Genesis holds an impressive academic background, earning three undergraduate degrees from the University of South Florida in History, Secondary Social Studies Education, and Classics and a master's degree in public policy from Georgetown University. Genesis demonstrated exceptional leadership and a deep commitment to advancing education equity during her fellowship. Her extensive experience as a teacher brought a wealth of knowledge that greatly enhanced our education policy efforts. Genesis immersed herself in the legislative process, consistently delivering high-quality briefing memos and policy recommendations. In addition to her policy work in higher education, Genesis played a key role in drafting bills and collaborating with several organizations to move our legislative priorities forward. Her ability to articulate complex ideas through Op-eds and legislative writing further underscored her dedication to the issues we care deeply about. She also took on a leadership role with the fellows and interns, assigning meaningful projects and ensuring each team [[Page E1327]] member had a valuable and enriching congressional experience. Genesis's attention to detail, collaborative spirit, and positive attitude have made a lasting impression in my office. As her fellowship concludes, I commend her for her unwavering dedication and commitment to education policy. I do not doubt that Genesis will continue to excel and make significant contributions to the field, and I wish her continued success in all her future endeavors. On behalf of Florida's 24th Congressional District, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Genesis for her commitment and service. ____________________
