Nelly Carrillo

Nelly Carrillo-Carlos started her career with UCCE EFNEP 6 years ago with a presentation on broccoli and grapes! Last year (2010), over 189 families in Fresno County benefited from her good news about how much fun it is to eat well and move more. People stop her in the supermarket and around town to tell her how they’ve applied her lessons to make their families healthier.

“This program (EFNEP’s Eating Smart Being Active!) and the manner in which Nelly Carrillo presents has changed the lives and habits of many of our program’s parents. We are extremely grateful for this service, its impact and positive changes it has made. “ Parenting Educator, Clovis Adult School

Nelly knows the importance of role-modeling healthy choices to her 2 sons. You can view her mediawork on “Arriba Valle Central,” Channel 21, as she is fluent in Spanish and English.
