What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? A Conversation with Priscilla Zepeda
In our very first episode of the Take 5 Challenge podcast, host Henry Perezalonso catches up with Priscilla Zepeda, Vice President of the CPRS Recreation Section and Recreation Manager for the City of Irwindale. Recorded live at the 2025 CONNECTIONS Conference in Sacramento.
Henry and Priscilla dive into the big question we’ve all asked ourselves—“What do you want to be when you grow up?” —and shares that, by being authentic to herself and lifting others along the way, she’s already living her answer. Together, she and Henry explore what it means to support your team, create a career roadmap, and build a network that helps everyone grow.
Priscilla is also the go-to person for the Take 5 Challenge—reach out to her if you're ready to connect, share, and grow alongside a fellow parks and recreation professional.
