Maria Elena Mejia

Maria Elena Mejia, originally from Honduras, joined the North Carolina Farmworkers Project as an Outreach Worker is 2010. Maria currently serves as the Lead Outreach Worker and the Coordinator of the Benson Health Clinic. She also coordinates many visits for farmworker who need to be seen by specialists. Working with farmworkers brings Maria such love, life, and happiness! She is passionate about serving and supporting migrant farmworkers who remain some of the least protected and most invisible workers in our communities. Her main objective at work is always the wellbeing of the farmworkers that put food on the tables across the country! She is also very grateful to work with such a great team of coworkers.

Outside of work Maria loves to hang out and have picnic gatherings with family and friends. She also tries to get at least some exercise each day, such as bike riding or walking, as she finds that getting moving in these ways keeps her healthy and happy!
