Rasmussen brings over 15 years of operations management experience having served with the former Fallbrook Healthcare District and Foundation, North County Fire Protection District, Fallbrook Union Elementary School District and Escondido Police Department.

She will oversee the senior center nutrition program which offers delicious and nutritious meals Monday through Friday to any and all seniors from the Fallbrook area.
