I recently graduated from MSMU with a BS in Social Work.  I currently work as an Associate Program Manager for SRO Housing Corporation in a permanent supportive housing project in Skid Row DTLA. Previously, I served as a member and as the program manager for the AmeriCorps Hope for the Homeless program which was nominated as one of the top 10 most innovative programs in the nation in 2007 because they recruited formerly homeless people to reach out to people living on the streets and connect them to vital services.  Board/Affiliations/Awards Skid Row Action Plan Permanent Housing committee Joseph Center’s BPEH Learning academy Alternatives to Incarceration cabinet member AmeriCorps local leadership award 2014 AmeriCorps trailblazer 2014 I experienced homelessness as a youth, as an adult and as a mother.  Homelessness is a vicious cycle often caused by trauma.
