LUEG Program Manager
Rebeca works across the County organization with departments and staff to help shape thoughtful coordination and integration of community voiced priorities into current and future County policies and programs. She provides strategic management and guidance to advance efforts related to food systems, environmentally preferable products, workforce development, data-informed actions, and more. In addition to her current work, Rebeca was a part of the foundational work that established OSEJ and its initiatives, such as the Regional Decarbonization Framework, Departmental Sustainability Commitments, and various food system initiatives.
Growing up in a bicultural family and with roots in South America, Rebeca saw how innovative solutions can be adapted at different scales and locations. For example, the over fifty-year history of ciclovía – where the busiest streets of a large metropolitan city are open to the public once a week to encourage biking, walking, and connecting with community and local businesses.
She holds a Master’s in Public Policy from UC San Diego School and a B.A. in City and Regional Planning from Sonoma State University. She’s a world traveler, enjoys watching soccer, and exploring local coffee shops with her partner. Fun fact… she has an identical twin who also works at the County.
