Cheryl Lopez-Jimenez

I’m a Richmond Native whose family immigrated from Mexico and built a life deeply rooted in the city. I’m deeply passionate about empowering my community to celebrate and care for one another while fostering a shared pride for Richmond. I believe in strengthening our bonds to the land and creating spaces where everyone feels connected and supported. With a background in behavior analysis, I’m also a dedicated advocate for autism acceptance. Outside of work, I channel my creativity through arts and crafts and approach every challenge with a “can-do” spirit.
