Are you passionate about helping your community? Through volunteering, advocating, and support, you will discover the tremendous difference you can make in your area. 

In today’s episode, I am joined by the inspirational Dr. Monica Sanchez. Monica was elected to the Pico Rivera City Council in a special election held in November 2019, which made her the Pro-Tem Mayor of the City of Pico Rivera. Dr. Sanchez is currently a board member for the Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority - a public agency that provides social services to seniors such as meals and job services to adults and youth at no costs. Dr. Sanchez works as an Educator for the Los Angeles County Office of Education, and advocates for women, children, and public health.

Dr. Monica Sanchez and I talk about her experience growing up as the daughter of a farmer, why she decided to become the first person in her family to go to college, what her career journey has been like, why she has decided to run for mayor, and so much more. Monica has committed herself to a life of service for her community which is why she would make an incredible mayor. Monica also gives great tips for all Amigas to handle their shit and set themselves up for success.
