Publisher Xochitl Loza shares her path from the Bay Area to the 209, from sound engineering and the Macy’s Parade to leading Macaroni KID in Modesto, Mountain House, Tracy, & Manteca!

In this episode of The 209 Journey Podcast, I interview Xochitl Loza, Publisher of Macaroni KID Modesto & Mountain House-Tracy-Manteca. Xochitl shares her story of moving from the Bay Area to the 209, her unforgettable experience being part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and her time working behind the scenes as a sound engineer in theater. We also talk about her journey to becoming a publisher for Macaroni KID, a go-to resource providing local activity guides and family news for parents in our community.
