“I began my journey with the Advocacy Center because I wanted to have more hands-on experience serving the community, especially for a demographic of individuals who are vulnerable due to the systems put in place. I also wanted to grow more as an individual and expand my knowledge on all areas of law and validate the many different perspectives that members in the community have to share.”
