FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- She started out picking grapes near the city of Selma and now she is a leading expert in business and philanthropy. 33-year-old Leticia Corona was recently appointed by California Governor Gavin Newsom to serve as the first Central California Regional Lead Advisor at the California Office of Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA) within the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development. A long title but in short, she's advocating on behalf of small business owners and connecting them with much-needed resources. Lifting others is something she's been passionate about since childhood.
"We're all in this world for a purpose and we have to utilize our privileges to help others and create opportunities for others," said Corona.
