Why EMPresenta is Great >

I can almost taste the food. Have you seen the photos on Facebook? Each picture makes my mouth water.

My name is Eydie Mendoza. I grew up sewing and drawing, a true artist but as I got older, I was encouraged to pursue a more practical career. While studying, I decided to build my own photo library and took photography courses, quickly becoming a new passion and segway for multimedia production.

Initially, I started the company to help small local businesses get visibility on the Web by using Website templates for a fraction of the cost, making it affordable and easy for a mom and pop type businesses to get digital visibility in order to compete with other businesses. My multimedia skills are an asset that allows me to also offer clients business photography, video, and social media packages to accompany their website.

Raised in San Jose, Calif., Eydie Mendoza first attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco after graduating from Yerba Buena High School. She relocated to Los Angeles to work in the fashion district and while she was there she changed her major to English at Pasadena City College, transferred to Mount St. Mary’s College, and received her Bachelor’s in English and Spanish.

Mendoza worked over eight years as a college international and domestic student advisor, including children of migrant workers at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and College of the Redwoods in Eureka. She enjoyed working for the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) office in Sacramento with early childhood dual language programs on a national level. She worked with under-served and underrepresented communities as a bilingual educator assisting families, care providers, teachers, youth and adults in pursuing their dreams for higher education and a better life.

After the NCLR office closed in northern Calif., Mendoza moved back to her hometown of San Jose, where she has reconnected with family, friends, and the community. She is a former SVL Editor-in-Chief SVLatino.com (2011-2012) and a former San Jose Pride Board Member where she served as a Publicist (2012-2014) and CFO (2013).

Currently works for County of Santa Clara Office of the Executive in Public Affairs as the Social Media/Internet Communications Specialist.
