Seminar Ambassador Mernie Empalmado
Hello from Mernie Empalmado, a Lady, who has been with Senegence for over 7.5 years. She brings a rich and diverse background, having served some of the most recognized and respected charities both internationally and locally in her hometown of Irvine, CA. Most recently, she served as President of National Charity League’s Rancho Irvine Chapter, where she led an organization of 200 mothers and daughters to thrive as confident, well-rounded contributors to society, making a lasting impact in their communities.
Currently, Mernie serves as Co-Chair for her church’s Capital Campaign, where her philanthropic efforts have helped with their overall fundraising mission. She has sat on the Board of Directors for various local charities in Orange County. Her non-profit journey began over 36 years ago, when she first dedicated herself to feeding the homeless, providing meals to underserved communities, and donating time to charitable causes.
A proud Premier Donor for the Make Sense Foundation (MSF), Mernie also enjoys sharing select Senegence products with her customers, knowing that their purchases give back to MSF. As she looks ahead, Mernie is excited to bring a fresh, dynamic energy to fundraising efforts for MSF in the coming months.
After careful consideration, Mernie has chosen Ronald McDonald House Orange County as her charity of choice for Seminar 2025.
