Corina Pongratz

Executive Administrative Assistant to Rabbi Oren Hayon & Rabbi Josh Fixler

corinap@emanuelhouston.org

Corina attended school at the University of Texas in Arlington where she earned her degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. Prior to joining Congregation Emanu El, Corina served as an Administrative Director for a nonprofit charity. With more than 14 years of administrative experience—including working in an adult and pediatric heart transplant program—she brings a strong background in organization, communication, and keeping things running smoothly. These experiences have helped shape her passion for supporting others, building meaningful connections, and making a positive impact through her work.

Outside of work, Corina loves spending time with her young daughter and their dog, Izzy. She has always been an animal lover—something that runs in the family, as her family owns a pet grooming shop!

She is thrilled to be part of the Congregation Emanu El community!
