My first job:
Directory Assistance Operator.
My hometown:
Napa now, but I grew up on the Peninsula (San Mateo) and lived in Oakland for 13 years before coming to Napa in 1998.
What I do at VOICES:
I am the Chaplain and Wellness Program Coordinator. I support programs that keep our youth and staff healthy: Mind, Body and Soul.
How my leadership has changed as a result of working at VOICES:
I have worked with young people for many years, but since coming to VOICES I find my self-valuing more and more the point of view our youth bring to the table. It is exciting to let them take a lead role in much of what we do and then sit back and watch it blossom.
Where I’ve come from and where I expect to be in the next 3-5 years:
As long as I can still deliver what VOICES needs from me, I will be here.
