Inside this Edition:

Welcoming Our Shinnyo-En Community Impact Fellow

Welcoming Our Community Impact Fellow, Ella Gray

Redwood City Together is excited to welcome the latest member of our team, Ella Gray, as this year's Shinnyo-en Community Impact Fellow. Ella (she/her) is a recent graduate from Stanford University where she obtained a BA in Human Biology with a concentration in disease, gender, and public health. She strongly believes that community partnerships are one of the most effective and ethical ways to improve the health and wellness of underserved populations. She has previously volunteered with Project Systole, a student organization that partners with LifeMoves community centers across the Bay Area, to provide first aid training workshops for their constituents, as well as with United Students for Veterans’ Health. She is especially passionate about child health and has worked as a researcher with Stanford’s Graduate School of Education to investigate psychological resilience among youth populations suffering adversity. 


In her work with the Welcoming Redwood City working group and Stanford's John W. Gardner Center for Youth and their Communities, Ella will continue learning about community wellness and advocacy and how to improve the health of those who need it the most. She is excited for the opportunity to work alongside passionate individuals who strive to value, empower, and collaborate with the Redwood City and North Fair Oaks community.

Bienvenida a la Becaria de Impacto Comunitario, Ella Gray

Redwood City Together se complace en dar la bienvenida al miembro más reciente de nuestro equipo, Ella Gray, como Shinnyo-en Community Impact Fellow de este año. Ella se graduó recientemente de la Universidad de Stanford, donde obtuvo una licenciatura en biología humana con especialización en enfermedades, género y salud pública. Ella cree firmemente que las colaboraciones comunitarias son una de las formas más efectivas y éticas de mejorar la salud y el bienestar de las poblaciones desatendidas. Anteriormente, se ofreció como voluntaria en Project Systole, una organización estudiantil que se asocia con los centros comunitarios LifeMoves en todo el Área de la Bahía, para brindar talleres de capacitación en primeros auxilios para sus constituyentes, así como con United Students for Veterans 'Health. Le apasiona especialmente la salud infantil y ha trabajado como investigadora en la Escuela de Graduados en Educación de Stanford para investigar la resiliencia psicológica entre las poblaciones de jóvenes que sufren desafios.


En su trabajo con el grupo de Welcoming Redwood City y el Centro John W. Gardner para la Juventud y sus Comunidades de Stanford, Ella continuara aprendiendo sobre el bienestar y la defensa de la comunidad y cómo mejorar la salud de quienes más lo necesitan. Está emocionada por la oportunidad de trabajar junto a personas apasionadas que se esfuerzan por valorar, empoderar y colaborar con la comunidad de Redwood City y North Fair Oaks.
