My experience has included Boys and Girls Club (13 years on board, past president), Give Every Child a Chance (board of directors), Manteca Crime Prevention and Awareness Commission (chairperson twice), ), Manteca Substance Abuse Commission (chairperson), PTA (president at three different schools, Honorary Service Award), Manteca Community Prayer Breakfast Committee (ten years), Manteca Morning Rotary (past president), Sunday school teacher/church leadership).

I have worked in my grandchildren's classes for the last five years. Last year I volunteered in Kindergarten, second grade and fourth grade.
