Learned that she really likes public service, and learned a lot about state govt from that job. Came to OC working in the Partnership to End Homelessness. Started this job two years ago. Loves working in community with folks like us. Hopes that there will be enough affordable housing. "Home" is a place where you can do what you want and make your own rules. Looking forward to kids' activities this Spring. j. Cormack i. Studied theater but experienced so much racism that she decided to pursue social justice. Ended up in England to pursue masters and worked in housing association there. Saw what can happen when there is a more socialized way of doing housing, which is what brought her into this job. "Place-shaping"--people shaping their neighborhoods and loving where they live--affects health, happiness, everything. Passionate about people being able to age in place.
