BERNIZ HOUSE

DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

Berniz House’s expertise in arts administration, community engagement, marketing, field research, and networking has helped many art organizations fulfill their missions. Berniz has worked in the Central Coast community for more than 10 years, where she uses her Spanish language and cultural identities to support a diverse range of organizations.  Some examples include the Arts Council for Monterey County, the Greenfield Triqui Community, Estampas de las Américas, and Yaocuauhtli  Aztec Dancers, Monterey Filipino Club, among others. Her efforts resulted in greater inclusivity, accessibility, program expansion, and funding sustainability. Berniz has held leadership roles in the Nonprofit Alliance of Monterey County and the Cannery Row Rotary. 

Before becoming an arts administrator she worked as a dance teaching artist in the schools. If you don’t see Berniz in front of a computer, you will find her hiking, biking with her family around our beautiful coastlines, or at cultural events in our region.
