A Little About My Role at PYM
I bring to the position experience as a Programming Facilitator and Community Engagement chair for an Advocacy and Policy committee. I have held positions as a research assistant and supported multiple service programs as an organizer and volunteer. That work has been centered on engaging community members through education and activism on issues like improving maternity care and eating disorder prevention.
