Public Service & Volunteer Positions
King County Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)
2005-2007 While working as a legal clerk and considering Law School, I advocated for the rights of abused and neglected children. As a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), I researched the unsafe living conditions of my CASA kids and worked alongside the Department of Social and Human Services (DSHS) to make recommendations. I then attended hearings to report my findings to the King County court. All three of my cases were successfully adopted into safe, loving homes. |
Bellevue United FC & Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association, soccer coach
1998-2017 Since 1998, I've coached five soccer teams for 1-5 consecutive seasons. My goal (pun always intended) is to teach a love for and an understanding of the game, while reinforcing sportsmanship and respect. The values learned on the field always translate off the field. |
