My name is Aliyana Montevirgen. I am currently serving as a Lead Ambassador for Youth Engagement Project (Y.E.P) and as a Case Supervisor for CASA of Sonoma County as in addition to their Successful Transitions Coordinator that supports TAY Youth. I am also a recent graduate from Sonoma State University with my Bachelors Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice and have participated in Seawolf Scholars, Trio and EOP on campus. In these roles, I am passionate about advocating for foster youth. Drawing from my own lived experiences within the foster care system, I am motivated to help youth navigate the complexities of the system and advocate for their best interests.
