I am an educator and lifelong learner committed to social justice and human rights. Working and volunteering both locally and overseas has encouraged me to appreciate diversity and cultural humility. During my career at YMCA, I have led International Development programming – in supporting our partnership with the sister location in Bogotá. I have also led multiple programs over the last 20 years for immigrant children and youth, particularly priority youth. I represent the YMCA on various committees such as service provider round tables. I have served on the local immigration partnership committee. I am currently leading the YMCA’s Gender-Based Violence Prevention Project.
