Interests & Experiences
Tell us about yourself, and why you are applying for this particular Board or Commission:
I am an advocate for citizens being involved in their community, and I have wanted to apply for a Board for some time now; I finally feel that this is the right time. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am one of Merced's biggest cheerleaders. While I do not yet have experience serving on a Board, I believe my deep knowledge of the community and my desire to see Merced thrive make up for that gap. My background includes nonprofit work, networking, community outreach and engagement, and health promotion and education. I bring a unique perspective to the table as an advocate for Merced, a mother who lives and works here, and a public health professional. Community is at the heart of everything I do.
Please list your current employer and relevant volunteer experience.
I currently work for the WIC program under the Merced County Community Action Agency. I began my involvement with WIC in 2018 as a volunteer Breastfeeding Peer Counselor, facilitating the Merced Breastfeeding Cafe. I now serve as the Regional Breastfeeding Liaison, leading education and outreach efforts for the WIC program with local organizations.
My board and leadership experience includes serving on the Board for Play Adventures from 2022 to 2023, completing Valley Onward's Board and Commissions Training Class in 2020, and completing the Parent Leadership Training Institute through the Merced County Office of Education. For two years, I managed the "Nourish Merced" Facebook and Instagram pages, highlighting community and family events and resources, and I continue to maintain a webpage of community resources. In addition, I have coached soccer for the Albion and Atwater Youth Soccer Leagues and t-ball for Atwater Youth Baseball, and I volunteer with Playhouse Merced. I am an active member of the Merced Maternal Wellness Coalition and the Merced Breastfeeding Network. I will graduate from San Jose State University in December of this year with a Bachelor's degree in Public Health.
What is your understanding of the roles and responsibilities of this Board or Commission?
I understand that Board roles involve reviewing expenditures, decisions, proposals, projects, and activities in order to make informed recommendations to the City Council. Key responsibilities include remaining unbiased, basing decisions on presented facts rather than assumptions, and prioritizing outcomes that improve the lives of all Mercedians. Through my work with low-income individuals in the nonprofit sector, I have gained a unique perspective that reflects the experiences of those who are often the most underserved. I bring a strong sense of justice and fairness to my work, and I believe that arts and culture play a vital role in building a thriving community.
