What education or prior experiences do you have related to workforce development?
I oversee community health education and intervention initiatives, as well as workforce development and technology training programs. I have over seven years of experience developing and implementing programs to assist underserved, racial and ethnic minority, and at-risk urban populations. I also hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago and a Master of Science in Nonprofit Management from Spertus Institute.
What about your work inspires you?
I strongly believe that Association House continues in the settlement house tradition of working toward a healthier community. I am proud and inspired to work with a dedicated team, who work to empower and elevate residents in areas of education, mental health, and employment.
What's a fun fact about yourself?
I am a life-long learner. During the pandemic, I ran with my passion for skin care and became a licensed esthetician.
