Our Team
I believe we're all here to support and serve each other, especially those who are broken, lonely, or oppressed. Genuine service brings me immense joy and purpose. Leading by example, I strive to make a difference and embody the change I wish to see. Everyone has a story, and I find fulfillment in bringing smiles to faces, knowing a small act of kindness can brighten someone's day in ways we may never fully understand.
I am a bilingual interventionist, crisis counselor, mediator, and educator. I have worked with high risk youth for 25 years, starting with volunteer work in local high schools when I was in college. I have extensive experience in program development, management, and evaluation, and I have worked in the U.S. and abroad with local government agencies, public schools, non-profits, grassroots start-ups, and faith-based organizations. I completed a B.A. in Sociology and an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology from the University of Houston, and now own a start-up company that provides social services catering to diverse populations of high-risk youth and their families.
In my free time, I love dancing salsa and creating memories around the world with my husband and two young children.
From a young age, I was always taught to give back to the community in which I live, and there is no better way to give back than by volunteering your time to those in need. Volunteering is not only a great way to explore the community around you, it also allows you to interact with and learn about people you would normally not interact with on a day-to-day basis. This one simple interaction can lead to education, which in turn leads to action, and action leads to change.
By joining Passion2Give, my hope is that I can help others while also bringing about change to the community at large.
