My work with Javi as part of the Padres Informados Jovenes Preparados (PIJP) program highlighted her exceptional ability to lead community-engaged outreach and development efforts. She effectively gathered stakeholder feedback, conducted user testing, and led interviews with over 30 community members to ensure materials reflected the community's needs and values. Her deep commitment to Latinx families and strong community partnerships make her a standout in family-based prevention work.
