Hi, I am Erika Monterrosas, a Breastfeeding Peer Counselor and WIC Nutrition Assistant. I’ve been working at the South Gate WIC Office for two years. I’m from Mexico City and came to the United States when I was 16. Since then, I have lived in LA County. I have worked at SLAHP for 18 years, helping my community reach their goals.

My favorite part of my job is all the people I meet, and I help them reach their breastfeeding and nutrition goals. Being a part of the South Gate Team has helped expand my wings with knowledge and experience.

Outside of work, I love to spend time with my family. One of my favorite things is to cook and work out. I enjoy hiking and exploring new places. My biggest dreams are to have my own restaurant and become a professional chef.
