Katrina Foley

Join MC Sungaila as she talks to attorney and member of the Orange County, California Board of Supervisors Katrina Foley about becoming a community leader. Prior to her election to the Board of Supervisors, Katrina served as Costa Mesa’s first directly elected Mayor and a member of the Costa Mesa City Council for 12 years, in addition to running her own firm, The Foley Group.

Katrina discusses her desire to and focus on serving her community and her constituents, why she studied law in the first place (to help women and girls and victims of domestic violence and abuse), the importance of taking initiative and reaching out to likeminded people to build your network and power to make a difference, and how she uses her legal skills in elected office by gathering the facts and standing firm in court when necessary to protect the people she serves.
