After working for several years, she decided to go back to school. Now in her early 30's, she is currently a student in the Human Services Tech program at the local community college. After graduating in May 2014, she plans to attend a local university to pursue a degree in social work. Angie's first interaction with Catholic Charities was as an student intern during spring semester 2013. Since then, she has worked for the agency a few hours a week where her bilingual language skills are greatly needed and appreciated. As soon as Angie heard about the Mentor Program she expressed an interest in being a mentor. From her own experiences, she understands the adjustments for a youth arriving in the United States, and feels she can make a difference by helping them maneuver through the maze of their new environment. She looks forward to supporting a youth's academic success, and helping a youth understand new cultural norms and expectations. Angie is excited about making a difference in a youth's life, and is looking forward to being matched with a youth in the very near future.
