Things I Care About
PEOPLE
PR + Content Marketing
I met Alek through a presentation he gave in one of my PR classes while in my senior year at CSU, Chico. Since day one, he had offered to help me if I needed any. I can tell you, to this day, he has kept his word and helped me immensely. Aside from being a great friend, he is also a great PR & Content Marketer. Clicking on his photo will lead you to his LinkedIn to learn more about what he does.
Web Designer, Video/Audio Editor and Graphic Designer
I met Christine through our work for Charles Communication Group. She helped me design this website and is a pleasure to work with! She has experience making logos, infographics, social media posts, 3D, 4D, and motion graphics. Clicking on her photo will take you to her LinkedIn profile.
Founder & Head of PR at Your Forte
I actually “met” Laura through Instagram (I had just started my PR business account, and she was one of the first people to reach out to me). What an unexpectedly good thing to happen to me because Laura has been like a mentor and, more importantly, a great friend. Oh, and she’s a phenomenal singer too! Based in the UK, we have still managed to find time to talk and help each other out if we can. Clicking on her photo will lead you to her LinkedIn.
SPICA Co-Founder and Editor
I initially contacted Vanessa on LinkedIn because I was on the job hunt and asked if she could give me any advice. Since then, she's been helpful in my PR career and my Health & Wellness. Her posts on social media, advice, and website are super informative. She is a big reason I started meditating. I highly recommend it! Clicking on her photo will lead to her wellness website.

CAUSES
I spent my childhood attending the local Boys & Girls Club in my hometown of Huron, California. I would look forward to heading straight to the Boys & Girls Club after school to begin working on my school work and then getting to do whatever activities they had planned. That Boys & Girls Club was managed by a family friend named Samuel Alejandro Garcia, but we just called him Alex.
Unfortunately, he passed away in 2016 from his battle with cancer. I miss him and thank him for giving me some of the best memories of my life.
Goodwill was founded in Boston by Reverend Edgar J. Helms, a Methodist minister and early social innovator. Helms created the Goodwill philosophy of “not charity, but a chance” when he collected used household goods and clothing in wealthier areas of the city, then trained and hired people who were poor to mend and repair the used goods. The goods were then sold or given to the people who repaired them. More than 118 years later, Goodwill remains a household name and leading nonprofit provider of educational and workforce-related services.
The ACLU is non-profit and non-partisan. We do not receive any government funding. Member dues and contributions and grants from private foundations and individuals pay for the work we do. The ACLU, with headquarters in New York City, litigates across the nation and all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Our Washington, D.C., legislative office lobbies the U.S. Congress. We use strategic communications to educate the public about issues. And the ACLU has expanded its reach by applying international human rights standards in our complex Post 9/11 world.
