Jesús Orduño is a husband and a father. Professionally, Jesús is an educator and small business owner. He was born and raised in Tucson to immigrant parents and was the first in his family to get a college education, which led him to pursue a career in teaching Spanish at his alma mater, Pueblo High School. Jesús is now a curriculum service provider at Pueblo, as well as owner and operator of Bolita Bakery. Both paths have placed Jesús right in the center of the ever supportive community of South Tucson. He found his place in this community at every stage of his life thus far and he’s determined to continue to give back to it what he received.
