Cori joined North Sound ACH in June 2023 as a recent graduate from Western Washington University. They received their BA in Recreational Management and Leadership. They began with having to navigate the challenges of being a foster youth in Washington state from a young age. They are familiar with the difficulties of feeling connected and welcome in their communities while navigating Medicaid as a Disabled and nonbinary person. Since then, Cori has poured their heart and soul into promoting access, diversity, equity, and inclusion in public health, higher education, recreation, and preventive supportive housing. Cori is currently focusing on their career and personal wellness but is wanting to get their SUDP certification and eventually their MSW. In their free time, Cori enjoys spending time with their found family and friends. This includes activities such as gardening, crocheting, kayaking, reading, foraging, and video games.
