During her first month on the job, new San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus – the first woman to hold the post – had to deal with a year’s worth of crises, everything from floods to a mass shooting.
As part of Women’s History Month, NBC Bay Area sat down with Corpus to discuss her challenges, her vision and the glass ceiling she’s breaking.
Corpus stood tall as she was being sworn in as the county’s top cop.
“I was so proud to be standing in front of everybody as the first female Latina sheriff of this county,” she said.
With those firsts, Corpus knows there will be doubters.
