Advocacy Manager at Colorado Children's Campaign

​

'I’m thrilled to join the Roots Family Center board of directors because I admire and respect the community-based, community-led services that Roots offers. The fact that Crystal and the other staff come from Westwood means that they are able to connect at a deeper level with the families they support and have a vested interest in ensuring all families in the community can thrive. I’m excited to work again in the Latino community, supporting Roots with my nonprofit management experience and passion for social justice and equity.'
