Have your life challenges motivated you to build a better life for yourself? As Amigas, we are capable of more than we know and we each are on our way to building our unique legacy.
Today, I'm joined by the incredible Rachel Barbosa. Rachel serves as the City Manager for the City of South El Monte where she oversees all city departments. Raised in San Gabriel Valley, Rachel was a child from a once homeless family and has grown into a strong young woman and overcame the challenges of teen parenthood. Today, Rachel brings a fresh, diverse perspective as City Manager to help change the systemic issues within government. Rachel’s role as City Manager includes the development and implementation of city-wide and departmental goals, objectives, policies, procedures, and priorities, while also making recommendations for the solution of various management challenges in the city.
Throughout this episode, Rachel vulnerably shares the story of her husband’s passing, the incredible way she worked to become City Manager, how she brings a unique perspective within her work, and why women are stronger than we know. Outside of her work, Rachel is involved in the Latina Golfers Association, where she recently received the annual inspiration award for enhancing the lives of girls and women by inspiring them to use golf as a business tool and as a fairway to education.
