"My Own Capacity."

Issues impacting young children and their families that fuel my passion is those living in poverty , cannot get health services and quality education.

Special skills that I have that will contribute to my advocacy efforts is my ongoing continued education in this field, resources that I have made in the community as well as collaborative partners who also advocate for the same issues. My communication and research skills will help in gaining resources for the families.

I have met and maintained relationships with City Clinics, Doctor and Nurses, Food banks, schools and stores willing to provide services to children and their families. I also use my colleagues as a resource to other services. My gift of being able to articulate what is needed, communicating in an effective manner, wiliness to work at different events, reach out to community leaders to inform them on the needs and my overall desire to make a difference and too be a part of the solution.

I hope to continue to grow in my knowledge of advocating, learning new and innovative ways to reach those most in need, build better skills on reaching legislature and planning events to get more support in this area to better use my current skills and to learn new ones .
