'Advocate for change': Meet new CHW Ariana

What drew you to the CHW position in the first place? Do you have any past experiences that have helped and/or prepared you for this role?


I was drawn to this position for the opportunity to actively help others recognize their strengths and discover their own paths to creating the life they want. I am very happy in collaborative environments that encourage problem-solving and shared successes with lasting impact. I bring a strong background in human relations, beginning as a Resident Assistant in college and most recently working with high school students. Throughout my experience, I have focused on identifying the core of challenges and working toward meaningful solutions, which has prepared me well for this role.
