As the daughter of immigrants, she has pursued social justice in all her work. Her passion for energy and environmental issues ignited during her fellowship at The Greenlining Institute, where she focused on helping ensure that fundamental resources like energy are affordable and accessible for low-income communities of color. Noemí is also a certified Spanish interpreter and advocate for language access. She is currently a fellow at the Haas Jr. Fund focusing on grantmaking that advances the rights of immigrants and creates opportunities for them to participate in the democratic process. She is grateful to have the opportunity to serve her local community by contributing to solving Berkeley's energy needs.
