Kimberly martinez

Kimberly was born and raised in Southeast Los Angeles to Honduran parents. Her passion for advocacy and community development led her to pursue a career in environmental advocacy in communities of color that are often underserved and underrepresented. Through her work with community, she decided to pursue a career in environmental planning when she noticed that the professionals doing the decision making for her city did not reflect her community. Coming from a dense urban area, her access to organic food was limited which has connected her to passion for backing sustainable efforts that encourage a healthier lifestyle. At CRECE, Kimberly is proud to support the communication and administrative efforts of the organization and hopes to continue working with the team to encourage food sovereignty amongst BIPOC communities.
