Meet a Board Member: Rebecca Trinidad

This is the fourth in our Meet a Board Member series!

Rebecca Trinidad

How long have you been a member of HWB? How else are you involved?
I have been a member since 2018, a Chapter Coordinator since 2020, and a member of the Board since 2022. 

What drew you to HWB as a member and board member (and coordinator if applicable)? 
I turned to herbs for my personal care and got myself off of prescription medications doing so. It made me want to help others do the same. I saw the work Herbalista was doing with the herb bus and it inspired me to join HWB and start a chapter.

Tell us more about yourself!
I come from a line of women that work to heal people and communities. After taking my health into my  own hands using herbs, I sought out herbal training from Herbal Academy to obtain a foundation of knowledge to educate others. I started a chapter (HWB of the Big Bend) in my region in 2020 with another coordinator and have been building community ever since. I hope to continue to support HWB's work in my role as Treasurer on the Board as well as a chapter co-coordinator!
