LEADERS

Berenice Meza-Aguiar

Berenice was born in Tijuana Mexico where she lived until the age of 13. She moved to the United States and has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area ever since. Having been relentlessly teased for everything from her accent to her lack of knowledge of her new countries culture, Berenice found herself getting involved in gang related activities. Today, she is a powerful leader who has transformed the hurt she received as an immigrant student in the California educational system into a passion for making sure that every student feels safe, loved and celebrated in our schools.

Bernice is fluently bi-lingual and came to Challenge Day with a wide range of experience in team development, leadership and management. She is a passionate leader with a special ability to reach out to and support hurt teens.
