The two populations I wanted to serve <br /> included underserved women and seniors. <br /> As a result, after graduating I founded a nonprofit called Hope Renovations, which is due to <br /> launch this fall. Our mission is to inspire hope in women and older adults for a joyful future . We <br /> will be doing this by carrying out small to mid-size repairs/renovations in the homes of older <br /> adults who are aging-in-place, with the work being carried out by our trainees, who are <br /> underserved women in our community seeking living-wage work in the construction trades. As I <br /> have been starting up this nonprofit over the past two years I have been introduced to many <br /> aging-related topics in our county. <br /> This is mostly thanks to Hope Renovations involvement with the Orange County Housing <br /> Preservation Coalition. and our connection to Carol Woods (with one of Carol Woods leaders <br /> serving on our board). In addition, I received my CAPS (Certified Aging in Place Specialist) <br /> designation in 2018. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br />
