Teresa Murphy, who has served as a school teacher for 27 years, faced multiple challenges last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five months after the coronavirus pandemic struck in March, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. But Murphy, who earned an associate\u2019s degree in elementary education and teaching from Miami Dade College in 1989, was determined to keep working.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though she was hospitalized, she continued instructing her fourth-grade class at Spanish Lake Elementary in Hialeah<\/span>\u2014<\/span>virtually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStudents are the ones who keep me going. You don\u2019t realize the impact you have on your students until five or ten years have gone by,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to be important but it\u2019s more important to be nice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Murphy was one of ten MDC alumni inducted into the College\u2019s <\/span>Alumni Hall of Fame<\/span><\/span><\/a> during a special <\/span>Heroes Edition <\/span><\/i>ceremony at the Wolfson Campus auditorium on Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Honorees were recognized for supporting South Florida during the coronavirus pandemic in fields like education, health care and law enforcement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The College raised $1.2 million for student scholarships during the night, surpassing its goal by $200,000. Fundraising has become a signature part of the Hall of Fame ceremony since its inception in 2003.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s ceremony was scaled down due to the pandemic. The event was held at Wolfson Campus instead of a fancy ballroom and included a limited guest list of only 200 people\u2014there are usually about 1,000 guests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Attendees were welcomed into the auditorium with live music from the New World School of the Arts Alumni Jazz Band.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the ten alumni inducted into the MDC Hall of Fame:<\/span><\/p>\n

Murphy<\/span> received the Education Award. In February, she was named the 2022 Francisco R. Walker Teacher of the Year for Miami-Dade County.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so proud of everything she\u2019s done. She\u2019s absolutely earned this award,\u201d said Janelle Lopez, who was Murphy\u2019s student 15 years ago. \u201cI couldn\u2019t have asked for a better mentor and inspiration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pete Gomez<\/span>,<\/span> who earned the Emergency Management Award, serves as senior director of Florida International University\u2019s Academy of International Disaster Preparedness. He worked as one of two incident commanders at the university\u2019s testing center, where they performed almost 3,500 tests daily during the pandemic\u2019s peak. Gomez previously served as a firefighter and directed emergency management efforts for the City of Miami.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandon Webb<\/span> became the Battalion Chief of Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue\u2019s Special Operations Division after working as a 911 operator for two decades. He received the Fire Rescue Award for his work as program manager for Florida\u2019s Urban Search and Rescue Task Force, which has been testing and vaccinating large numbers of people for COVID-19. Webb <\/span>was also awarded the Florida Commendation Medal<\/span><\/a><\/span> for his efforts last June.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheila Jones-Coakley<\/span>, who has been a nurse for more than 30 years, was the recipient of the Health Care Award. She currently works as the nurse manager of the Dialysis Unit at Nicklaus Children\u2019s Hospital, caring for young patients who are getting medical procedures that clean and filter their blood\u2014often while separated from their families due to the pandemic. Jones-Coakley also teaches nursing students in the Scholar\u2019s Program for Jackson Health Systems at MDC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian Rafky<\/span>,<\/span> who has served the Miami-Dade Police Department for more than two decades, earned the Law Enforcement Award. He led the department\u2019s Special Victims Bureau\u2014which protected vulnerable members of the community during the pandemic\u2014as it responded to allegations of sexual and domestic crimes, child and elderly abuse, missing persons, and more. Rafky now serves as the police\u2019s chief of the South Operations Division.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shirley N. Codada<\/span> is an internal medicine physician with more than 20 years of experience in hospice and palliative care. Codada received the Medicine Award and currently serves as Regional Medical Director of VITAS Healthcare, overseeing four of its programs in Florida and one in Georgia. The native of Haiti has supported COVID-19 patients, who often feel anxious and lonely, during a time when visitors are not allowed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Betsy Godoy-Rosado<\/span>, who<\/span> has dedicated her career to helping people deal with mental health crises, earned the Mental Health Award. She currently works as the clinical supervisor of the EPIC Team at 4Kids by helping children who have experienced trauma heal. A licensed clinical social worker and mental health advocate, she has supported federal prisoners and probationers, as well as children from broken homes, during the coronavirus pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Caridad Cuellar<\/span>, who<\/span> currently works as a registered nurse at Baptist Health, was the recipient of the Nursing Award. She underwent four brain surgeries while studying nursing at MDC, but that didn\u2019t stop her from earning her bachelor\u2019s degree. She showed that same determination to help the community during the pandemic: Cuellar worked as a middle school nurse, providing telehealth services at a community health center and tested patients for COVID-19 on a county site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cesar F. Larancuent<\/span>, who works at the logistics company DB Schenker, earned the Trade and Logistics Award. He is currently working to transport 28 million vaccines to Latin America. During the pandemic, he transported face masks, cleaning materials and medical supplies internationally and partnered with public and private institutions to distribute Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), hospital medical supplies and essential equipment to first responders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jessica Gutierrez-Castillo<\/span>, who earned the Nonprofit Award, <\/span>co-founded Buddy System MIA<\/span><\/span><\/a> to run errands like grocery shopping for people with health complications and reduce their risk of contracting the coronavirus. The network\u2014which includes 400 volunteers across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties\u2014is also combating food insecurity by <\/span>placing community fridges across Miami-Dade County<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis award is for my community and for my family,\u201d Gutierrez-Castillo said. \u201cI feel very humbled because I\u2019ve been very focused on our community and this has allowed me to take a pause and recognize myself and the work of all our other leaders.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
