Erandi Escareño,

Erandi was born in Morelia, Michoacán, México. She is a graduate of Universidad Latina de América in Michoacán with a BA in Communications. She has worked in various media outlets in México and the Central Coast such as: TV Azteca Michoacán, Super Estrella 107.1 FM, El Sol de Salinas, Univision 67, and NBC Universal/Telemundo 48 in the Bay Area. She has won an Emmy Award for Excellence in News among other distinctions.

After her father’s homicide in Salinas, California, she founded ‘Juntos Podemos’, a non-profit organization whose mission is to inform and educate the Spanish-speaking population about public health and safety.

Erandi enjoys a walk on the beach, a hike and planning the next adventure with her two daughters.

“Early one Sunday morning in 2011, my dad was gunned down as he was leaving home to go to work. This loss left me with a lot questions, emptiness and a great sense of responsibility to let others know about all the resources available in the community that help you through your most difficult times. As a journalist my duty is not only to inform, but to educate the Spanish-speaking population in everything related to their health and well-being. My mission in life is to serve those in need using my communication skills and what better opportunity than to do it through HG Foundation.”
