My name is Rebecca and I have been living in Humboldt County for five years now. I've taken classes through College of the Redwoods, Santa Barbra Community College, and i've been at Humboldt State for a year now. I'm really excited to be apart of the Social Work Program. I have been on the other side of things and have gained a lot of experience from that alone. My hope is to use my own personal experiences in combination with what I learn from the Social Work program to help others. I see a lot of areas that could use change and I would love to help be that change.

I don't often go into detail about my background because I have found that I get a lot of judgement from others and I truly prefer to stay empowered and keep moving so that I can be succesful. I do know that I will use my background to help others in the same situation because I've lived it.

I have a special needs child who is turning 15 tomorrow and I spend a lot of time advocating for her needs and I love working with other children who are as amazing as her. That would be the something I would want you all to know about me :)
