“I started with El Concilio as a volunteer in
the area of physical activity in the same year
I started my studies in the area of Human
Services where I earned a Family Development
Certificate from Cañada College. I love having
direct contact with people, helping families to
stabilize their lives by helping them realize that
they have the potential to succeed and guide
them to the resources they can access and most
of all give them hope.”
