“I have worked with Naoma on several projects over the past 4 years. She is always very thoughtful and detailed in her analyses and presentations, which consistently demonstrate a high sense of vision, creativity and dedication around the work involved.” 

“Naoma is an energetic, creative visionary. When she is presented with a challenge she begins to rapid fire ideas jotting them down on paper and drawing pictures, saying things like “what if we did this and then this?… and what do you think, tell be what you have in mind! Just start talking and then I will fed back what I am hearing.” And thus the project is launched.”

“When I think Naoma: passionate, loving, honest, and TRUE. Naoma is a go-getter, who at times cares too much. A person you can always count on, resilient, and resourceful. Naoma’s strength creates a fallacy in the world she lives and traverses. Invariably encountering barriers, barriers we do not see, yet always discovering truth through her journey; making her true!”

“Naoma brought her vision to the Las Cruces Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program, and took that program to new heights. Her leadership in drafting the SRTS Action Plan resulted in securing $500,000 for walking and bicycling improvements throughout Las Cruces. Naoma brings thoughtfulness, passion, and conviction to every project.”
