Spreading awareness of various issues and resources in the Denver area through social media while sparking conversations of critical reflection.

Major: Social Work, Spanish

Project: Spreading awareness of various issues and resources in the Denver area through social media while sparking conversations of critical reflection.

Inspiration: Volunteering at food banks has allowed me to see the different kinds of people that are struggling, even within the small town where I come from where I thought everybody was financially stable. It makes me want to help these people live comfortably and safely.

Future Goals: I want to get more funding put towards homeless shelters in Denver or other major resources that they could use day-to-day.
