My experience comes from over 45 years of Community Advocacy involvement. Working alongside Organizations such as The Mothers of Watts, Operation P.U.S.H, The NAACP, and numerous other organizations advocating for change. Continuing to bridge the gap, opening doors, and educate our underserved communities has been my life’s mission. I plan to use my past experiences and self-driven passions to continubuilding bridges and assist in developing stronger, more viable, and healthy communities.

I graduated from Los Angeles Southwest College with an Associates Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I further my education at California State University of San Bernardino where I obtained a Bachelors of Arts degree in Criminal Justice. With my experience from working as a Program Specialist II with the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles, I’m able to help build a relationship with socioeconomically disadvantaged families and community leaders.

My responsibilities will be but not limited to managing communication between internal staff, create and or maintain relationships within the community, build external relationships with other organization’s, and other duties as assigned by the Executive Director.

As the Administrative Services Specialist, I will establish a positive working relationship between the foundation and the community. My duties include assisting the public in person or by phone with inquiries related to the foundations services and programs.

Also, to explain the foundations rules, policies, procedures, assist with coordinating activities and other clerical duties as assigned.
