Meet Kimberly Figueroa-Martínez

Ana Carolina González-Peña • July 02, 2024

“My name is Kimberly Figueroa Martínez, and I work with the Municipality of Princeton as the Community Outreach Coordinator. One of the events I’m particularly proud of organizing is the annual Lotería. Each year, we host it at different locations, and the most recent one was held at the Princeton University Art Museum. It was a huge success with approximately 150 participants. We partnered with the Municipality, the Center for Modern Aging Princeton, and the Princeton University Art Museum, making it a memorable event for everyone involved. It is a great activity to bring the community together.

I’m also excited to share that I’m currently expecting my first baby. I’m thrilled about raising my child here in Princeton and Mercer County. This area has so many events and activities for families, which I absolutely love. However, I believe there’s always room for improvement, especially when it comes to community programs. Enhancing these programs would make our community even stronger and more connected.

I love living in this area because of the vibrant community and the numerous opportunities for family activities. My hope is to continue contributing to this community and making it a wonderful place for my child and everyone else to live.”
