Meet the Western Growers Leadership Program Participants Marisol Moreno, AgWest Farm Credit
My family brings me immense joy and fulfillment. Coming from a large extended family, I truly treasure the time we spend together on weekends, holidays and birthdays.
I consider myself an unconventional accountant. I love socializing, meeting new people and getting hands-on in the fields and storage areas. During harvest, the farm department hosts an annual ‘Field Day’ where office personnel are invited for a tour and lunch. It’s a chance for the staff to get their hands dirty, learning about the harvest, washing and packing processes. If you’re lucky, you might even get to hopscotch on potato bins.
I have two amazing daughters, ages 17 and 20. Raising two young girls as a single mom has been a significant journey filled with challenging and rewarding moments. I found strength in being a single mom through their love and admiration for me. Every professional success is/was for them.
I love all things outdoors and water, so I fly fish. In my rare moments of free time, I enjoy being out in nature, casting my line. I discovered fly fishing seven years ago after meeting my boyfriend, and since then, I have joined a fly fishing club where I help organize an annual women’s event in Kernville, Calif. Through this hobby, I have had the privilege of experiencing some of nature’s most beautiful backdrops.
A born and raised Dodgers fan, I grew up listening to the games on road trips, watching every game on TV and attending games often with my dad. Now, I am fortunate enough to share the same love for the team with my kids and my dad. In 2024, I had the amazing opportunity, thanks to my boss, to attend Word Series Game 2.
I love traveling anywhere and everywhere. This past summer, I was able to visit my best friend of 18-plus years in Virginia Beach and whiskey taste at the Historic Cavalier Resort. In 2024, I visited 10 states and am looking forward to more traveling in the future.
