My
son is a Junior in the Civitas Program.
I also have a nephew and three nieces who graduated from the program and
are now in college, one is in graduate school.
I’m a strong proponent of fostering civic engagement and
responsibilities in young people; in fact, I teach courses at Sacramento State
University that require students to complete service learning in nonprofit
organizations throughout Sacramento and Yolo Counties. As a lecturer in Child Development, I have
had the opportunity to collaborate with local programs and organizations and
help develop a variety of projects for my students on addressing the needs in
our community. I hope to be able to
extend my contributions by serving in the Civitas Advisory Board.
