I worked closely with selected campus sites, and project psychologist to facilitate the goals of the organization and SBI project, which included faculty/staff trainings. As the Program Coordinator I was the liaison between Texans for Safe and Drug-free Youth (formerly Texans Standing Tall), the Texas Department of Transportation, and SBI campus program teams. Additionally, I worked on a college alcohol policy database to analyze and evaluate its effectiveness. I have attended several statewide and national public health/substance prevention conferences wherein I had the opportunity to present and promote my project and network with prevention professionals. Similarly, I have attended legislative appointments on Capital Hill with local representatives to advocate for youth substance abuse prevention policy. I participated in the fulfillment of grant objectives, compliance requirements, program budgets and grant reporting requirements. Show less
