Major Accomplishments
While I was employed at HAWC Community Health Center I received employee of the month in
June 2008: for designing the 13th Anniversary card.
I planned and was hostess for two open houses and two holiday outreach parties for the homeless.
Currently I am in the process of getting funding and non-profit status for
HOPE 4 TOMMORROW. This organization will be geared towards the homeless in the
Truckee Meadows Community.
