Julie Zaragoza - Board Member
I am a Colorado native, born and raised right here in the beautiful San Luis Valley. I graduated from Adams State College (not yet a university) with a BA in Psychology/Sociology and began my career with the 12th Judicial District Probation Department. As a Probation Officer, I worked with many different types of offender populations, including perpetrators of sexual abuse and domestic violence. I retired from the Judicial Department in 2010, and began working in the private sector providing services to state and municipal court clients. I believe that domestic violence and sexual abuse touches each and every one of us in some form, either directly or indirectly. The services provided by Tu Casa, Inc. are vital to our community. Their staff are individuals dedicated to empowering all children and adults to live healthy, violence-free lives, as indicated in the mission statement.
