Starting at San Gabriel Mountains, this watershed drains to the Rio Hondo, then to the LA River, and finally into the Pacific Ocean. The Rio Hondo watershed also includes the Arcadia Wash, Rubio Wash, Eaton Wash, and Santa Anita Wash. Ten of the cities within the watershed have a primary language other than English, including Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese. 

As a resident of the Rio Hondo Watershed who has often pointed to the Safe, Clean Water Program as an exemplar of our local community investing in climate and water resilience, I am very excited to serve as the Rio Hondo Watershed Coordinator. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with municipalities, school districts, and tribal representatives to engage community members of all ages in watershed education and the co-design of multi-benefit projects, and I am excited to continue that work as Watershed Coordinator. I take joy in being a connector, and I aim to connect community members, public agencies, and community-based organizations to the Safe, Clean Water Program as a resource for transforming our neighborhoods to be more resilient. In the Rio Hondo Watershed, I love spending time at Peck Road Water Conservation Park and riding my bike along the Rio Hondo River Trail.
