As a Program Coordinator at PRO Youth & Families, I work to empower and support young people in Sacramento through various initiatives and activities. I collaborate with community partners, schools, and families to provide resources, mentorship, and advocacy for youth facing challenges and opportunities.I have over seven years of experience in youth engagement and coordination, having worked at East Bay Asian Youth Center - Sacramento. I led and facilitated a Peer Advocates program that raised awareness and reduced stigma around mental health among high school students. I also managed a caseload of 27 at-risk young males, providing them with counseling and mentorship. I am currently pursuing an Associate of Science degree in Business Administration and Management at Cosumnes River College, with the goal of enhancing my skills and knowledge in the field. I am passionate about learning and growing as a professional and as a person. I value diversity, inclusion, and social justice, and strive to make a positive impact in my community.
