6 Hi, I am Claudia Day and a Wellness Warrior with doterra Essential Oils. I was introduced to these particular oils by my daughter, Aimee, calling one day to ask if I d ever experienced essential oils. I lightly scoffed and said Indeed! Most of my life! to which she promptly said but not THESE oils!. Being the dutiful mother, I said I ll try them. That was all it took I instantly knew these oils were much higher quality and therapeutic value than any EO I had experienced. I became immediately impassioned with what these delightfully fragrant oils did in my life. I never intended to do this as a business until learning about the difference in quality of EOs and researching what doterra as a company does world-wide: I was hooked. I ll soon retire from a job after 17+ years to pursue this craving full-time to share the amazing properties of these oils. I do not sell oils. My dream is to share and empower others to get these oils into their lives so they too can be a healer in their own home. As one of the original founding members of TCWN I am thrilled to once again be part of such terrific organization! Claudia Day a cday77@outlook.com

11 Nicole Kikugawa The Educated Choice Hi! I m Nicole Kikugawa and was born and raised here in beautiful Tuolumne County. I am a fully licensed Financial Advisor with Zuk Financial Group, providing Financial Planning and Insurance Services to clients for over 10 years. I represent a range of mutual funds, stocks, bonds, annuities, and insurance related products. I specialize in retirement planning and love to see my clients enjoy a fulfilling and financially stable retirement. I graduated from the Business College at San Diego State University, where I majored in Marketing. I have a reputation for building and maintaining long-term relationships and strongly believe the key to a successful client relationship is built through a mutual trust and consistent communication. I enjoy getting to know my clients, listening to their individual financial needs and developing a personalized plan to meet their goals. I love what I do and feel blessed to be such an important person in so many people s lives. My husband and I moved back to Tuolumne County in 2008 when we bought the historic Sylva farmhouse (built in 1904). We now realize the ambitious undertaking we ve embarked on and look forward to the day when it s finally finished! Our 5-year-old daughter, Jemma, is our pride and joy! She keeps us young while making us old at the same time. My other passions are dance/ballet & traveling. I trained with the Joffrey Ballet School in New York City, and now teach dance with the Tuolumne County Arts Alliance. As a family, we like to stay active and enjoy skiing, golfing, backpacking, camping and of course traveling! I am happy to be on the TCWN board again this year and look forward to being a positive part of the Women s Network and community for many years to come! nkikugawa@zukfinancial.com

15 Susan Zuniga Tuolumne County Women s Network Scholarship Recipient I graduated high school in I heard about this scholarship opportunity from both Rebecca Burton and Karen Luckhardt. I currently work as a paramedic for Tuolumne County Ambulance (1996 present) and as a registered nurse at Doctor s Medical Center in the Emergency Department. I have been accepted into the Master of Science in Nursing Family Nurse Practitioner Program at Samuel Merritt University. It is a 20 month program. I have included my goal statement to this university as it best describes my commitment to healthcare and the underserved populations in Tuolumne County. For over a quarter century, I have devoted myself to providing emergency medical care to the sick and injured throughout the Central Valley. This experience has exposed me to a variety of healthcare systems. I began my career as an Emergency Room Technician, assisting the nurses and doctors who inspired me to pursue personal and professional development through continuing education opportunities and new career challenges. I have worked as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Paramedic with Tuolumne County Ambulance. I then transitioned to a flight paramedic role, specializing in critical care patients. With the start of my family in 2010, I sought the less dangerous, though no less daunting, challenge of Emergency Department nursing. All of these roles have given me a unique understanding of the diverse needs of the patient population within my community and the deficiencies in primary care. On a personal note, I am married with two adorable girls ages two and six. My husband and I own a ranch, here in Sonora, where we have a commercial vineyard, raise beef and chickens. In addition to our farming responsibilities both of us work full time. I will to continue to work during school as it is the only way for us to make ends meet. Tuition alone for this program is $75,000. I would appreciate any tuition assistance the Tuolumne County Woman s Network is willing to provide. Sincerely, Susan Zuniga
