Spotlight on Venus Ignacio-Cruz 


By Brent Davis, PhD 

This month is the 10th anniversary of Venus’s joining AUHS to serve our students by helping them obtain financial aid for their future. Venus grew up with four older brothers who continue to look out for their little sister even though she was trained by her father to be quite independent. The value that shaped her most as child was perseverance. She immigrated to Canada in 2002 and to the US in 2010. 

Venus has a BS in Accountancy and an MS in Management and Leadership. She came to AUHS in 2012 because of its diversity and mission to serve God and the community by providing quality healthcare. In her spare time, she enjoys time with her son and taking him to sports activities and traveling as a family. 

Her aspirations are to make a positive contribution to the university and to travel the world! Congratulations to Venus Ignacio-Cruz on ten years of service to the students of AUHS!
