Hello, community. Millennial here. I join the Reconnect to Opportunity team with a growth mindset and a student-centered approach to the work that is to be done among the many communities who reside in East King County.
Education is a resource that opens doors; access to avenues that are education-focused will be part of the journey when a youth leans in and intentionally chooses that direction. Employment is also an opportunity for growth and as an Outreach Specialist, I will lean into sharing, connecting, and communicating the available options with the youth who pursue this path.
I bring to the team an array of skills that span 10+ years in the K-12 and post-secondary fields. I enjoy working in collaboration with community-based organizations, partners, stakeholders, programs, providers, and educational organizations that serve youth and their communities.
I am also a first-generation college graduate (M.A. completed 2013) who enjoys poetry, travel, and one who seeks the next recipe to bake.
