Media Studies major

Since graduating from Vassar, I began working with Community Investment Corporation, a non-profit based in Tucson, Arizona. As a Case Manager for their Eviction Prevention Program, I helped tenants apply for rental assistance through CARES funding. The success of this initial program led to the approval of more funds through the American Rescue Plan Act, and I joined CIC as a Program Manager in 2021. It has been an honor to assist the greater Tucson community during the pandemic, and our efficiency placed us  in the top 15 percent of all Emergency Rental Assistance programs in the country. As we sunset the Eviction Prevention program this fall, I will shift my focus to CIC’s division for Program Support and Improvement. And yes, I joined many of my classmates this past May to celebrate our graduation in person!
