Emily M. Hernandez-Valencia (they/them/elle) is the Client Relations & Administrative Assistant at Lumos Transforms. Em graduated from California State University of Bakersfield with a BA in Anthropology and Spanish with a minor in Psychology. Being trained in these fields guided their interests in meaning-making and human connection. With their experience in global outreach, community health education, and language education they serve as a vital puzzle between the Community Programs, Partnership Development, and Communication Teams. Although Em has traveled a great deal, they know their heart will always reside in California. As a gender-expansive person, they have a great passion for expression through arts, especially through written language. Em hopes to one day become a published poet and author.
They currently live in the Central Valley in good company with their best senior pup, Tiny.
