When did you begin working at CALM?

I began working at CALM in August 2018.

What is your role at CALM?

At this time, I joined the newly created team as a bilingual school-based counselor based at Cleveland Elementary.

Please share one of your best CALM experiences (a time you felt like you really made a difference).

One of my best CALM experiences was when an adult at the school site said, “If I had you as a counselor when I was in elementary, I think I would have seen the world a better place”. It made me reflect on how the smallest of acts, how I interact with children and/or adults, on a day to day basis, could lead and impact someone in understanding and creating a new or hopeful perspective.

Finish the sentence, “If I could do one thing to make kids’ lives better, I would….”

If I could do one thing to make kids’ lives better I would give them all the tools necessary to understand the value in amplifying their own voice.

What is one thing you wish people knew about CALM?

CALM is such an amazing organization, it has so many programs that I think many people could benefit from, I feel extremely lucky to be a part of such a great team.
