How I Can Help

I help people in our community find the things they need. I want to be sure everyone has what they need to be happy and healthy. My goal is to build strong relationships with everyone in the community and provide support whenever needed. So, if you ever need help finding something, don't hesitate to reach out to me! My role is to act as a liaison between the community and the organization, connecting people to the appropriate resources, services, and information. I am dedicated to ensuring that community members are aware of available opportunities and programs that can enhance their well-being.

Bio

My name is Maria, and I'm from Venezuela. I grew up in this amazing country, and I'm fluent in Spanish, a fun language to speak! Even though I don't live in Venezuela anymore, I still feel so connected to my culture. I love sharing my passion for music, dance, and food with everyone around me. I'm a huge music lover, always looking for new tunes to add to my playlist. From K-pop to Afro beats to Bollywood, I love exploring various genres because it's fun to learn about different languages and cultures.
