Lizette is the bi-lingual coordinator of Spark the Change Colorado’s Mental Wellness Program. Having grown up in a bi-lingual setting, Lizette understands both the need for specialized mental health services and the barriers felt by the communities.

When asked what she looks forward to most in her new role, Emily shares, “I enjoy making connections with people in efforts to facilitate program awareness or continued outreach.  I’m most excited to be actively engaging in growing a program that is helping the most affected members of our community during this pandemic.”
