I have had a desire to serve God by being of service to His people since I was a child. Currently I am a volunteer in the Catholic Chaplaincy at Folsom
State Prison and California State Prison Folsom. I serve as a victim presenter and a facilitator in the Bridges to Life program.
I am employed at Mother Teresa Maternity Home. This home serves disadvantaged pregnant women through their pregnancy, birth and three
months after delivery. I enjoy knowing people from different cultures than mine.
I volunteered with Lutheran Refugee Services in Colorado Springs, CO. My
responsibilities were serving the refugees from time of arrival through
resettlement. These and other experiences have led me to develop many
friendships from all over the world.
I took this training to become a new leader advocate (to help former incarcerated people), to become a new leader advocate (to help support Homicide Survivors) and I will work with families who have a loved one incarcerated and previously.
