Miguel Ochoa
Los Angeles,California
Summary
My primary goal is to integrate into a position where I can leverage my educational background and skills to help others in my community. My short-term objective is to contribute to my community by working with NGOs, government agencies, or academic institutions, advancing opportunities for underrepresented groups. I aim to focus on California communities and eventually seek public office, representing districts in San Diego (South Bay Area). My long-term vision includes running for the State Assembly and serving in Congress to champion equity and inclusion.
I bring over two decades of progressive leadership experience, primarily in the fitness industry, complemented by a diverse academic and cultural background. I am a visionary and strategic leader with expertise in team building, mentoring, and achieving policy goals. I am confident in adapting to dynamic roles and environments to deliver impactful results.
