Sandra Rodriguez is a dedicated advocate for mental health, a certified instructor in Mental Health First Aid and QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) for suicide prevention, and a single mother who has turned her personal struggles into a mission to inspire and support others.
Born and raised in Rosemead, California, Sandra moved to El Monte at the age of seven, where she grew up and navigated her teenage years. During this time, she faced significant challenges, including domestic violence at home and emotional trauma, which deeply affected her mental health. Deeply affected by her circumstances, Sandra entered a dark space and attempted to take her life.
Her survival marked the beginning of a powerful transformation. News of her pregnancy gave her a newfound purpose, motivating her to persevere. With the support she needed, Sandra graduated from high school and entered the workforce, determined to create a better future for herself and her son.
Today, Sandra uses her experiences and expertise to educate and empower others in the mental health field. As an operations manager and mental health advocate, she passionately works to raise awareness, provide support, and instill hope in those facing similar challenges. Her story of resilience and advocacy continues to inspire, proving that even in the darkest moments, there is a path to healing and growth.
