I am a Health Education Specialist with Public Health. I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work in 2019 from Humboldt State University. I have passion for health equity and serving the Latinx community. I am excited about joining the Latino Net Board this year and cannot wait to see the things I will learn during my term.

I am from Argentina and moved to Humboldt County at a young age. I went to Humboldt State University and graduated with a bachelors in Psychology and a masters degree in Kinesiology. I am the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program Manager with the Area 1 Agency on Aging and am passionate about improving the lives of elders in our community.

I spend most of my free time rock climbing, and through this sport I get to visit many beautiful parts of the world both within the United States and abroad.

I am a second-generation Latina born and raised in the tough neighborhood of Watts in Los Angeles, where I learned to be resilient and independent at a young age. I moved to Humboldt County 10 years ago to teach Nutrition for the University of California Cooperative Extension. Due to Covid I decided to stay home and raise my last child. My passion has always been in nutrition and helping my community. In April of 2022 I opened a WIC only grocery store Parents Nutrition Center to help provide families a safe stigma free store to shop for WIC items. In June of 2022 I was appointed to the board of Eureka City Schools and in November of 2022 I was elected for a 4-year term.

I am the Principal Caltrans Highway Equipment Superintendent - II in District 1. The District consists of Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, and Lake Counties. One of the best aspects of living up here is that I get to see parts of California rarely seen by anyone, and know that what we do has a real impact in the lives of the people within our communities.

Soy originario de la Ciudad de Mexico.

Vivo en Humboldt County desde 1989 y he trabajado para St. Joseph Hospital desde enero del 2004 como Educador de Salud.

Amo mi trabajo y respeto mucho a mi supervisora y mi directora porque me han dado la oportunidad de explotar mi potencial apoyando a mi comunidad con sus necesidades.

Tengo dos misiones: La primera es el concientizar a mi comunidad sobre el autismo para incluir a personas con esta y otras discapacidades a la sociedad y tengan una vida tan normal como posible.

La segunda es el motivar e inculcar a toda la familia en general en actividades fisicas como carreras, xtreme baile terapia y actividades recreacionales para combatir enfermedades como diabeltes, obecidad, deopresion, etc. Se que no ha sido suficiente mi trabajo en la comunidad, pero lo poco que hago es con bastante corazon.
