Natalia Olivera Gomez

Student Board Member
Ridgway High School

Natalia was born and raised in Santa Rosa, attending Brook Hill and James Monroe Elementary Schools, as well as Santa Rosa Middle School. She is a rising senior at Ridgway High School, where she assists with distributing food to families through the Redwood Empire Food Bank every Wednesday. She is a proud bilingual daughter. Her parents aren't immigrants, but she comes from an immigrant background, as her grandparents immigrated from Mexico to provide a better life for their children and later their grandchildren. 

After high school, Natalia hopes to attend Santa Rosa Junior College for two years and then transfer to a four-year university where she hopes to get her B.A. Natalia’s professional goal is to become a social worker, then advance to a more senior role, helping people and families in need.
