Professional Skills

           I have three years and half of experience working for a child advocacy organization called Kids in Common (501(c)3). This organization managed the federal initiative called the Greenbook Project in Santa Clara County. The goal of this project was to improve systemic and community responses to families effected by the co-occurrence of domestic violence and child maltreatment. As the Project Coordinator for this initiative, I worked with representatives from Santa Clara County Superior Court and Social Services agency, Directors at Domestic Violence agencies, and other community-based organizations interested in ending domestic and child abuse. In this position, it was important for me to provide direction and leadership to project members to increase collaboration and improve communication strategies to better help families facing issues of domestic violence and child maltreatment. From this experience, I have gained a good foundation around how these public agencies function and learned how to successfully advocate for future policies and partnership for children and families in the Bay Area community.

The following documents will demonstrate my professional skills in both the public and nonprofit sector.
