LIFE LONG RESIDENT, WIFE, MOTHER, GRAND MOTHER & HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSIONER
"Lorena has proven to me to have a go-getter ability to get a job done. I have seen her in action supporting her children in school and sport activities. Also contributing to the HSPV organization and special events. You can count on her to ask questions and give her full working support getting the job done. She brings creativity to the table along with a let's work together mentality. Support Lorena for PUSD School Board."

-GANESHA ALUMNI AND SYETP PARTICIPANT
"Lorena hired me through the SYETP program. She provided me with a chance to learn about what it is like to earn money and develop as a young adult. I was fortunate to be placed on a college campus for my work experience. That exposure led me to attend school there and be the first to graduate with a degree in my family. I am so thankful for this."
