Director of Outreach, ETS REACH

After graduating from American University, becoming an EMT, and working with several community based organizations in the city, she moved to San Diego to pursue a MPH. She focused on working with folks who use drugs and engage in the sex trade and bringing a harm reduction perspective to public policy. Salinas has been in Seattle since 2018, where she works for REACH as an outreach provider.
