“I work at the Advocacy Center because as a first generation American, my family relied on me to understand the system and learn about the resources available to us. I want to continue helping those who do not have someone to rely on by educating, empowering, and advocating for them in hopes that they will take this experience and “pass along” the help to their community.“
