Hello!
This little princess – my daughter, Maylin – is my prime reason for becoming a CASA.
I used to be a second-grade teacher, before changing careers and becoming a Registered Nurse, and I have always had a passion for helping others, especially those who don’t get a voice of their own. Children are our future and I believe they all deserve a fair chance at success and healthy home lives. I want my daughter Maylin to see a mom who works hard for what is right, advocates for those who don’t have anyone to stand up for them, and gives everyone a fair chance. By being a CASA volunteer, I hope that is one way she can see these attributes and hopefully carry them on in her life.
I completed my CASA training in February of this year and got my first case in March. I really enjoy advocating for the child on my case and getting to interact with him weekly, even though it has to be by Skype at this time. I am honored to be asked my story of why I became a CASA and to share a snippet of my passions.
