Meet Our 2026 CHW Student Ambassador

Hello everyone! My name is Georgina Nunez.

I am excited to be your CHW Ambassador for this upcoming year. I am a re-entry student parent of two young children. I decided to participate in the CHW Program at Foothill College after a five-year work hiatus in hopes to learn the skills to empower individuals to live healthier, especially those from marginalized communities. I am interested in becoming a Medical Interpreter and hope to attain a Master's in Public Health in the future.

I look forward to serving current and prospective students in the program. I wish nothing but the best for you all in your academic and professional endeavors!
