“My role at VIC is more than just a job—it’s a mission. Every day I’m driven by the opportunity to honor and protect the voices and needs of our aging population. To feed, to connect—this is the heart of our work, and it’s my privilege to lead it.”
Leticia Perez
My name is Leticia Perez, and I am honored to serve as the new director of VIC's
Bernardi Multipurpose Senior Center. I have been a part of this organization for over six
years, beginning my journey as a Homebound driver.
Eventually, I took on the role of Information and Assistance Coordinator at the Bernardi Multipurpose Senior Center. I am truly appreciative of the opportunities for growth that this organization has provided me. Before my time at the center, I served in the Army, where I sustained a shoulder injury during training.
​
Fortunately, I discovered VIC's Bernardi Multipurpose Senior Center, which allowed me
to channel my commitment to serving my country into a dedication to my community.
My time spent here with all of you has been immensely rewarding.
I look forward to building upon the work we have accomplished over the past six years.
My aspiration for the center is to further develop Bernardi Multipurpose Senior Center as
a vital community hub, offering resources and programs that foster growth and
development within our community.
