What is the most challenging part of your job at AUCP?
It’s hard to realize that not everyone in our community that needs help, wants it, or asks for it.

What is the most rewarding part of your job at AUCP?
It is just inspiring to see the resilience of some of my clients and the determination to better their situation. It is rewarding to see them reach their goals.

What are some of your personal goals?
I would like to see our program grow to the point that I can advance to a manager position. I really enjoy helping fellow community health workers with resources & growing in their roles.
