Born and raised in Whittier, I have spent all my life in the Whittier Schools and graduated as a Whittier College Poet with a bachelors in Business in 2008. I starting working in nonprofit as the Director of Development for the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier. I have a lifelong passion to the City of Whittier and the advocacy of autism since my youngest child was diagnosed at 2 years old. I am very excited to join the REACH Board of Directors to advocate for children and adults with autism.
