                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 6, 2017

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month. Each year, we pay special tribute to the contributions and 
sacrifices made by our nation's women. It is an honor to pay homage to 
outstanding women who are making a difference in my congressional 
district. I would like to recognize a remarkable woman, Noemi Torres of 
West Hollywood, California.
   Noemi Torres immigrated to the United States from Guadalajara, 
Mexico at the age of 13. After some time in Seattle, Washington, she 
came to Los Angeles and now calls West Hollywood home. Ms. Torres came 
to California, as many do, to pursue her dreams. While she has a 
passion for photography and acting, she found herself working with a 
successful startup telecommunications company, and it was while at that 
company, that she was exposed to the real estate industry. Now Noemi is 
on the Modern Living LA team of the John Aaroe Group Sunset, where she 
uses her considerable talents to help her clients with their real 
estate needs.
   Along with her incredible professional accomplishments, Ms. Torres 
has also shown herself to be an astoundingly capable community leader. 
She volunteers for Project Angel Food, AIDS Walk Los Angeles, the 
Revlon Run/Walk, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Heal the Bay, and the 
Downtown Women's Center. Noemi especially shines in her advocacy in her 
two terms on the City of West Hollywood Women's Advisory Board, which 
she currently chairs.
   I ask all Members to join me in honoring an exceptional woman of 
California's 28th Congressional District, Noemi Torres.
