Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
Natalie Ziemba
Previously, I have worked for social change as a Peace Corps Volunteer, the Volunteer
Coordinator on a campus organization, and a hotline counselor for a sexual assault organization.
Social justice and advocacy takes on many forms depending on the context, and my different
experiences with social change work broaden my perspective on how social justice looks in
reality. As a social work student, I believe the interactions between people are the most
important relationships in the life of an individual. We all have the ability and responsibility to
improve relationships between individuals, and change the social conditions that perpetuate
discrimination and inequality. Changes must happen concurrently at the individual and societal
level, and the Human Relations Commission can ensure positive social change occurs at the
societal level in Orange County.
