Hi, my name is Linda Smith-Valadez.

I’m an Administrative Assistant in the Main Office. I have worked for South Los Angeles Health Projects for almost 18 years. I was born in Los Angeles and raised in Compton, where I graduated from Centennial Senior High School.

The most rewarding part of my job is assisting my co-workers. I appreciate the support I have received over the years from Silvia, Yesenia, Lu, Monica, and Frank. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and I can’t forget my dog, Ha-chi. I always look forward to having gatherings and spending time outdoors.
