Active in the ASB at her school, she is currently the ASB president while also playing Basketball and Volleyball.
“She has been a well-received student writer for our local paper, The Mountain Messenger, reinforcing communication between the school and community.” says Lynn Fillo, her CSF Adviser, “She is the first person community organizers go to when they need help with an event.”
Susan Hopkins mirrors some of Mrs. Fillo’s thoughts, “I see Esmeralda as a creative problem solver, an excellent communicator, a thoughtful listener… all coming from her heart. She is very much a “people person,” yet also someone who can take charge to get things accomplished.” From all of her hard work, we know that she will go far.
Esmeralda sees community service as an important part of her life, “My proud small town is built on the roots of our community and helping one another.”
She plans to study Business Administration next fall at UCSC, CSU Sacramento, or CSU Chico.
