CASA WELCOMES NEW VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR
CASA of Humboldt is pleased to welcome Jan Bramlett to our staff.
Jan is delighted to have the opportunity to work with CASA’s well-regarded advocates and volunteers. Most recently she hails from an environmental nonprofit in southern Humboldt, and now lives in Arcata. “I’m impressed by the positive energy I’ve sensed in the people I’ve met in this organization. I intend to expand the ranks of advocates so that we reach more of the children in this county who need and deserve our help.”
Jan has a master’s degree in Cultural Anthropology from UCLA and has conducted research on immigrant communities and multicultural education in the United States. Prior to graduate work, she had 15 years of experience in marketing and customer service with a New York pharmaceutical firm. She visited here five years ago, was captured by the spirit of creativity and widespread voluntarism that thrive in Humboldt, and decided to stay. She is also a singer-songwriter.
