Interests & Experiences
Please tell us how your qualifications and participation will relate to the requested board and/or commission's mission.
I have five decades of professional experience in social services in direct service, supervision and administration roles in child welfare and juvenile justice nonprofits and government agencies. For eleven years at Urban Strategies Council, I have worked in the juvenile and adult policy and advocacy space, supporting stronger reentry services and system change. I have volunteered in community-based justice advocacy organizations in Alameda County for the last fifteen years. I fully support citizen oversight of municipal and county law enforcement agencies. I have been watching the Police Commission meetings for years and have seen several Selection Panel meetings. I feel that I have a good understanding of the work of both boards.
