What do you do at NWBRV?
I am the Site Coordinator at the C3 Center. This role involves managing the staff, day to day operations and planning FUN activities for the students!
How long have you been working with NWBRV, and how did you start working with the organization?
I am fairly new to the organization, I’ve been with NWBRV for six months. I applied for the position because I was interested in working with students to help prepare them for college.

So far, I am really proud to have worked with NWBRV staff in the reopening of the C3 Center. It had been closed for a while due to the pandemic and I knew the students would be excited about it being open again.
