Aisha Baro moved to Half Moon Bay 12 years ago for a professional opportunity in the biotech industry where she has held a variety of commercial business roles since that time. She has fallen in love with this small town and has become active in the community through a leadership position within Coastside Families Taking Action, a grassroots and family-oriented local organization that champions equity. But by far, the most important role in Aisha's life is that of a mother to an active 4-year-old girl, who is her inspiration for wanting to build a vibrant community where all can flourish. She believes Half Moon Bay is primed for a post-COVID renaissance and she is excited to be part of shaping it!
