Rosa "Rosie" Gumataotao Rios (born July 17, 1965) is the 43rd and current Treasurer of the United States.〔Carla Marinucci, ("Obama selects Bay Area Latina as his choice for U.S. Treasurer," ) ''San Francisco Chronicle'' (May 15, 2009).〕 She is the sixth Latina to occupy the office, the third consecutive Californian, the third consecutive Hispanic female to do so, and following Anna Escobedo Cabral is the second consecutive Mexican-American to hold office. As U.S. Treasurer, Rios' duties include oversight of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the United States Mint, and the United States Savings Bonds Division (now the Savings Bond Marketing Office within the Bureau of the Public Debt). Additionally, she advises the Director of the Mint, the Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Deputy Secretary and the Secretary of the Treasury on matters relating to coinage, currency and the production of other instruments by the United States. ==Early life and education== Rios, a first generation Mexican American, was born to Guadalupe Rios. Her parents divorced about 1974 and she and her eight siblings were raised in Hayward, California solely by their mother. In order to help out, Rios obtained a job processing books at an Alameda County library warehouse. She worked long hours, often coming home late at night and working on her homework into the early morning hours. Rios graduated from St. Clement School, in Hayward, California, in 1979. She then attended Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward in the early 1980s. After graduating from college she lived in Fremont for seven years and eventually moved to Castro Valley.〔Mercy Bautista-Olvera, ("Hispanics Breaking Barriers, Part VII: Rosa Gumataotao Rios," ) ''Somos Primos'', Society of Hispanic Historical and Ancestral Research (July 2009).〕 In 1983, Rios attended Harvard University with the intention of eventually returning to California and going to work in the state Department of Education. Four years later, she graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Romance Languages and Literature and having completed a thesis on the "changing notions of Latino identity" focusing on the writings of Tomas Rivera and Sandra Cisneros. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rosa Gumataotao Rios」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
