I coordinate our Earn-a-Bike program and work in the retail shop, including ecommerce.

I found my way to CCofCA through an internship and have loved it since my first day. I have learned so much more than I thought even existed, I feel heard as a person, and I am inspired by the people we serve and the programs that change people’s lives. I’m glad I get to be part of helping people find solutions.  

As a child of foster care, I know statistics for success are not on my side and my self-confidence reflected that for a long time. At CCofCA I’ve been exposed to so many people overcoming their own obstacles that I am motivated to become the best version of me. My goal is to be an entrepreneur- the CEO of my own company. I have a vision of that company and how it will give back. But first, my bachelor’s degree!

When I’m not in class or at work, I like to spend time with my family and my friends. My siblings and I got our first bikes from Community Cycles, so now we ride together, and we also make DIY and craft projects, and we volunteer together. I like to explore the area and try new activities with my friends. We do everything from hiking to staying in for a themed dinner, painting, or game night.
