Additional Information

My experiences as a teacher in an inner city/title I school and as a case manager have allowed me to identify community needs and strengths. During my time as a teacher, I started school clubs, created by0laws, co-chaired on the behavior team, and successfully started and managed our laundry program. My time as a case manager gave me a front row seat to generational trauma, community needs, and available community services. I am prepared to take these years of experience to continue to make a difference.
