Why did you choose to be a LSC Advisory Board member?
I chose to serve on the Love Stanislaus County Advisory Board because I believe in the power of people coming together to strengthen the place we call home. Having grown up here, this community has poured into me in countless ways. Serving with LSC is one way I can give back and help create more opportunities for people to care for one another and make a positive impact.
What do you love most about LSC?
What I love most about LSC is how it brings people together around a shared purpose: serving others. It reminds us that small acts of kindness and service can create meaningful change in our neighborhoods and across our county.
What do you love most about living in Stanislaus County?
What I love most about Stanislaus County is the people. It’s a place where relationships matter and where you often see neighbors stepping up to support one another. Growing up here gave me a deep appreciation for community and the importance of investing in the place you live.
In what ways do you participate in the community?
I participate in the community through my work in education and by serving with and on boards of organizations like Love Stanislaus County, Gallo Center for the Arts, Chamber of Commerce, Empower 8, MochiMu and more that focus on strengthening our community through service and connection. I also enjoy supporting local events and initiatives that bring people together and help make our community a better place for the next generation.
