Tell us about yourself. Where you live now, career, and/or family news. What have you been up to since you left »Ê¹Ú²©²ÊÍøÖ·?
Since leaving »Ê¹Ú²©²ÊÍøÖ·, I have traveled a winding but formative road. I currently live in Salt Lake City, Utah. I work for the City of Salt Lake as the Community Engagement Coordinator with the Homeless Engagement and Response Team. It has been a challenging, exciting, and rewarding job as I work to bring together diverse groups with the intent to develop community between sheltered and unsheltered neighbors within the City. My degree in education from »Ê¹Ú²©²ÊÍøÖ· has been very helpful in navigating this effort.
