Carolina Soto, MSW, Advisor

Carolina Soto is a Southern California native who lives with her husband and two children. Carolina has been managing food allergies for about 8 years, since her daughter was diagnosed with a peanut and tree nut allergy at 17 months. Carolina has experienced firsthand knowledge of how life-altering this sudden diagnosis can be. Carolina wanted to help others educate and advocate for themselves when it comes to food allergies. 

When Carolina's daughter was diagnosed, there was a great need for information and support. Carolina asked to expand the No Nuts Moms Group now known as NNMG Food Allergic Families of Inland Empire, a FAACT-recognized support group, to her community, so that families that were dealing with some of the same obstacles could support and educate each other. 

In addition, Carolina, being from Nicaraguan descent, would like to expand the services available to families from different cultures. Being from a different culture made it more difficult for family members to accept and process a diagnosis that was not commonly seen or spoken about in our culture. 

Carolina has a Master degree in social work and has learned the importance of working in an environment that is inclusive and beneficial to all.
