Anais Medina Diaz

Ms. Medina Diaz was elected to the Board of Trustees March 2, 2021. She represents Trustee Area 1 – City of El Monte.

Currently, she serves as the Public Information Officer for the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District and is dedicated to increasing awareness and education about the public health threats mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases pose to the 6 million residents the public health agency serves through collaborations and partnerships with nonprofit organizations, schools, neighborhood councils, and city electeds.

Anais recognizes that without the access to higher education or her father’s union job, she would not have the career or opportunities afforded to her. Anais is passionate about higher education and ensuring all folks regardless of income, gender, immigration status, and ability have access to higher education. Inspired by the lived experience of her immigrant parents and family, Anais has seen first hand how an education can increase opportunities and positively impact quality of life. She’s motivated to continue being an advocate for those most in need and bring resources that help build a more equitable, inclusive El Monte community.
