Meet the 2010 NLC Fellows: Midori Wong

Midori Wong
Land Use and Environmental Planner at the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG)

Midori Wong has been fortunate to work in public service at city, state, and tribal nation levels of government. She is currently adding regional experience to the mix as a land use and environmental planner at the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), the metropolitan planning organization for the 18 cities and county of San Diego. Midori is an alumna of the University of California San Diego, where she started for the UCSD Women’s Lacrosse club team and spent a summer abroad in London interning for the former charity arm of Amnesty International providing relief grants for refugees in the UK and internationally. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in Urban Studies and Planning (USP) and a minor in Environmental Studies, and now serves as a member of the university’s USP Steering Committee, an external appointed group comprised of community leaders and alumni who provide guidance on program development. Midori continues to enjoy playing and watching sports, travel, and a love of learning. During the 2010 election cycle, she will also spend time volunteering for her mom’s reelection campaign to represent the 8^th District in the California State Assembly.
