Meet the Team

Oropeza Consulting Co. was founded by Eliana Oropeza, MPH and Tiara Munoz, MPH.


  • CEO and Co-founder

    Eliana Oropeza is a first-generation Mexican American college graduate born and raised in the Central Valley. Eliana Oropeza has over 10 years of Public Health experience. She has a wealth of public health experience including working at the non-profit, governmental and a health care system. Some of her previous work includes working closely with promotoras to implement the Diabetes Self-Management Education program for adults with type 2 diabetes, the Madera County Oral Health program, the Fresno County Tobacco Prevention Program and the Babies First Program in the implementation of tobacco-free policies and the promotion of health and well-being of mothers, babies and families. Eliana grew up in the Central Valley, California and is the first in her family to attend college. She attended Reedley College, and University of California, Irvine and San Jose State University. She is currently also an Adjunct Professor of public health at Bakersfield College and San Jose State University. On her spare time, she spends time collecting antiques, running, exploring nature, photography and videography, with her family by her side.


  • Co-founder

    Tiara’s journey into public service began at the young age of 18 when she enlisted in the United States Navy. Over the course of eight years, she served her country in two overseas tours, taking part in crucial humanitarian efforts in Djibouti Africa, and the Middle East. Her responsibilities during these deployments ranged from teaching basic English literacy and mathematics to impoverished and displaced orphans to assisting collegiate students with their graduate work.

    After completing her service with the Navy, Tiara continued to dedicate her life to addressing disparities in healthcare and public assistance. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Memphis and went on to work with migrant farmers and their families. Her mission was to tackle drug and alcohol use among youth by using culture and family as protective factors. She also worked tirelessly to enhance cultural awareness in rural communities and educate them about healthcare and public assistance systems in America.

    In 2021, Tiara Munoz obtained her Master of Public Health and transitioned into the role of Tobacco Prevention Coordinator for Saint Agnes Medical Center. In this role, she seamlessly merged her expertise in public health and healthcare, focusing on building advocates for tobacco cessation and health resources tailored to indigenous Hispanic/Latino, Hmong, and African-American populations. She dedicated herself to developing linguistically and culturally appropriate resources, ensuring health professionals were trained in cultural awareness, and collaborating with local promotoras and community leaders to connect and educate the community.

    In 2023, Mrs. Munoz took on the pivotal role of Public Health Program Manager for the Community Wellness division of the Madera County Department of Public Health. Here, she oversees seven health promotion and policy-focused grant programs, including Cal Fresh Healthy Living, Tobacco, Oral Health, PREP (comprehensive sexual education), REACH, Prevention Forward, and the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). In her role, Tiara provides guidance to a team of seven staff members and works diligently to establish, maintain, and foster positive and harmonious working relationships with public officials, administrators, employees, and all others encountered in the course of her work.

    Tiara Munoz’s journey is a testament to her unwavering dedication to public service and her unrelenting efforts to promote health equity in every community she touches. Her story serves as an inspiration to all those who strive to make the world a better place through selfless dedication and a passionate commitment to the well-being of others.

Who we’ve worked with

  • "Eliana Oropeza has been a crucial asset to our organization as an evaluator by providing accurate summarization of data collection and entries, recommendations on how to meet deliverables and goals, and has provided us with trainings that help further our work. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Eliana and I am glad to recommend her services."

    Joseph Fuentes, Youth Leadership Institute

  • "Oropeza Consulting has provided evaluation services for our Tobacco Prevention Program since March of 2022. Eliana is always prepared with a meeting agenda that keeps us on task with our grant workplan. Evaluation reports are thorough and completed on or ahead of time. She is professional and pleasant to talk with during meetings. We don’t know what we would do without her."

    Bhavvy Ducharme, Program Administrator Community Wellness, Mendocino County Public Health Department

  • "In June of 2023, we decided it was time to seek out a new evaluator for our Local Oral Health Program. We didn’t need to look far since Oropeza Consulting had been doing an excellent job with our Tobacco Prevention Program for over a year. Lucky for us Eliana also had experience with the state’s oral health grant. Her knowledge of evaluation methods is comprehensive. So easy to work with."

    Angela Wartell, Local Oral Health Program Coordinator, Mendocino County Public Health Department

  • "Working with Oropeza Consulting to provide education on the implementation of SB 793 to law enforcement agencies was a highly collaborative and productive experience. Their expertise in community outreach and training ensured that our efforts were both effective and impactful. We greatly appreciated their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to advancing public health initiatives. I would highly recommend Oropeza Consulting to any organization seeking support in training, and community engagement."
