Balbina Cerro first became involved with farmworkers as a volunteer working with various nonprofits at local health fairs in her community. In this capacity she learned about the available resources and about the importance of preventative health care through education. Balbina has extensive past experience as a community educator, including working with March of Dimes and working as a community health worker at El Pueblo in Raleigh. Balbina has been with the North Carolina Farmworkers Project since 2015. In her current role, she coordinates the Campbell Mobile Clinic, the clinic in Dunn, and the overall partnership with Campbell University.
Balbina loves the incredible team of coworkers that she has and feels grateful to have the opportunity to work and learn from them every day! One of the things that she loves most about her job is training new people that she meets and making connections and building partnerships with others in the community to ensure that the farmworkers have the resources that they need. Outside of work, Balbina enjoys visiting parks with her children, camping on the weekends, and best of all, making a bonfire with her family.
