Ms. Chaires Espinoza is an active Elk Grove community member having served as Chair of the City of Elk Grove Planning Commission, Vice Chair of the City of Elk Grove Charter Exploratory and Election Reform Committee, and as a member of the School Site Council at Joseph Sims Elementary. She is passionate about her work as a Member of the Board of Directors of CASA (Court-Appointed Special Advocates) Sacramento, where she advocates on behalf of foster youth.

At the state level, Ms. Chaires Espinoza served as a Senior Consultant with the California State Assembly Committee on Accountability and Administrative Review to help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state and local government programs.

Ms. Chaires Espinoza understands the difficulties of navigating the U.S. public school systems for immigrant families having witnessed the barriers her own immigrant parents experienced in trying to raise a family.
