Hi, I’m Lilia Torres and I’m a Peer Counselor/WIC Nutrition Assistant. I have worked 16-years at WIC and currently i am at the Central WIC site. I’m from Mexico and live in Los Angeles here with my husband and three children.

My Favorite part of my job is working with the community and breastfeeding parents. I had engorgement with my first child and did not know. Therefore, I like to educate parents throughout their pregnancy so they don’t have the problems I had. Back then, we did not have the support we have now.

Outside of work I like to exercise by going to the gym twice a week, and crochet for myself and for others. I like to take walks during lunchtime 3 times per week. I like to travel and I have been traveling two to three times per year. I like to spend time with my family.
