Overcoming adversity and life's challenges have shaped, in part, of who Laura Rizo is today.
Rizo will share experiences of overcoming poverty, mental illness and identity to help attendees meet their challenges with tenacity during the College Education for Students in Transition (CREST) program's annual motivational speaking event at 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6, at Western Nevada College.
If you are interested in attending the event, which is set for newly renovated Marlette Hall on the Carson City campus, please RSVP Susan Trist, WNC Disability Supports Services director, by emailing [email protected] by Aug. 2. Space is limited for this free event.
Like last year's speaker, Zach Gowen, Rizo represents CoolSpeak. She is a former teacher and school counselor and is currently a doctoral candidate at National University.
