As Manager of REACH and Raji House, I am responsible for supervising staff and maintaining the files. This includes reporting attendance and population to the California Department of Education (CDE) each month, managing enrollment changes and waitlists for REACH's aftershool program, conducting Intake meetings, and organizing our Summer Day Camp.

I graduated from College of Notre Dame (now known as Notre Dame de Namur University) with a B.A. in Psychology/Sociology in spring of 1999.

Previously, I worked as a counselor for the Salesian Day Camp for three years, organizing activities for young children.

I began working for the Parca REACH Program in April of 1999 as a recreational leader. In December of that year I became the coordinator for the program and in July of 2000, I took over the Manager position.

I enjoy working with the children--every day is a different story. I can laugh and be a kid all over again.

In my spare time I play and run around with my daughter, Lianna Lauren and son, Joey. I also enjoy reading and singing with them. Every now and then I take long jogs.
