Other education:

Preparing for graduate school

Current employment position:

Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust, Resource Development/Community Outreach Coordinator

Experience/areas of interest:

I have lived in Colorado Springs for 12 years now, and I call this my other home. I am originally from Guam and was born and raised there until I was 11. I have traveled a bit across the country and studied abroad in Paris for a summer. My two favorite loves are art and my daughter.

Why have you chosen to work in or support the nonprofit sector?

My education from CC taught me to recognize and care about the injustices in the world. By working in the nonprofit sector, I am able to feel like I am part of a larger unit with a mission to combat some of that injustice.

What’s your favorite book or movie?

My favorite book is Dr. Seuss’ Oh the Places You’ll Go. It is so positive and uplifting and I feel the same effect every time I read it.

I have a ton of favorite movies. Some are: Walk the Line, Namesake, Wedding Singer, Pursuit of Happyness, and Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. I love witty movies that are funny and original.
