What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
Full-time student at San Diego State University
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
I am currently an intern for an elementary school under South Bay Union School District, ACEsConnection, and Learn4Life.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
My interest in ACEs and resilience science developed after enrolling into a Child Abuse and Family Violence Prevention course at my current university. In addition, growing up in a low-income community has inspired me to support the individuals, organizations, and communities that are taking part in building resilience-focused and trauma-informed practices. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are especially common and can greatly impact our youth and communities. For this reason, it is crucial to continue to raise awareness about the effects of adverse childhood experiences and to provide accessible resources that will benefit those in need.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
ACEsConnection/Learn4Life
