About me
I have been working as a Hispanic bilingual domestic violence advocate since 1997, for a total of 27 years. Within those years, I have worked at the DSHS office as a work first advocate. I was briefly stationed at the Yakima County Sheriff's office through the STOP grant.
I also worked for Consejo for nine months and Amigas Unidas for two years. My passion and inspiration are working with survivors of domestic violence to empower them to stand up against domestic violence.
My goal as an advocate is to help eliminate domestic violence one survivor at a time to become a success story. The work I do will continue to make a difference in the community as much as my own family.
I love to spend time with my family when I am not working and helping others. One of the things that I like to do as part of my self-care is spending time with my kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Being able to have that opportunity to still enjoy and experience being part of my great-grandchildren's lives brings joy and happiness to me.
