Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, Mayra Ramirez is a Food Safety and Occupational Safety Coordinator for a local Agriculture company and is currently working on her Business Management Degree at Oxnard College.

"I have been working closely with immigrant farmworkers for about 15 years now, which is one of the main reasons I was motivated to learn more about Cabrillo EDC and see what I could do to help," said Ramirez.

Rooted in community-building and ongoing support, their mission aims to provide comprehensive affordable housing services and community economic development activities to residents most lacking in opportunity.

"As a board member, I would like to contribute to outreach, so every family that needs a home is aware of Cabrillo EDC and all we can do to help support them. I also would like to help spread awareness with other community members, businesses, and surrounding counties, to inform them about Cabrillo EDC's mission and efforts, so we can continue providing the level of commitment, experience and professionalism we have. I want to continue with my strong commitment for serving my community."
