Biography:

I serve as the Communications and Operations Manager for the nonprofit organization Bridges to Understanding, which works to connect students in the US with their peers around the globe through digital storytelling and other multi-media exchange. I graduated from Mercer Island High School in 2000 and Magna cum Laude from Vassar College (in Poughkeepsie, NY ) in 2004 with degrees in Psychology and Anthropology. After completing college, I enjoyed working and volunteering abroad before volunteering as a grant-writer for Bridges starting in June 2005. After being hired to staff in March 2006, I have coordinated, marketed and taught at numerous successfull Bridges workshops, generated public relations materials, and ensured smooth office flow and organization.

Naomi tells the story of how she wanted to come to California, but wasn't sure how or if she could really do it.
