Meet the Sunset Ridge Staff

Laura Barraza
Director
I started working with children about 20+ years ago in the special education department at the Jefferson School District, I then later switched to the Physical Education Department with kindergarten through 6th graders. I started working at TTT in 1998 at the Fairmont location and later transferred to the Sunset Ridge site.
​
I am married and have two grown children whom I love spending time with. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family and watching my niece play softball. I am CPR and First Aid Certified.

Robert Aquino
Teacher
I have been with TTT since 2015. My favorite part of working with kids is trying to mentor them into being good citizens. I am a semi-retired automotive tech/mechanic. I started at TTT because my wife works here and encouraged me to work here.
​
When I am not working with kids I enjoy drag racing and car restoration. I am currently enrolled in ECE classes and am CPR and First Aid Certified.

Alicia Barraza
Teacher
I started working with kids when I was 7yrs old because my mom owned her own home daycare. As a result I wanted to get involved in the child care field when I grew up. Even though I am the "teacher" kids teach me new things every day and they always keep me on my toes!
​
When I am not working I like to be outside doing activities or going to the beach and I love to listen to music.
​
I am currently enrolled in ECE courses and I am CPR and First Aid certified.
