Hellem Stamm: Digital Communications and Intern/Student Coordinator
As an immigrant herself (from Venezuela), Hellem is super passionate about working with the immigration affected community, being an advocate, and helping others. Hellem is a 2014 Appalachian State graduate and has worked in Boone since 2014 building her social work career. She currently lives in the foothills area but her heart belongs to the mountains. She loves spending time with her family, creating things and being craft and artsy, traveling, and relaxing outdoors. Her hope is to see a world that loves and accepts everyone. |
Christian Rivera: Grants Coordinator
Christian is a recent graduate of Appalachian State University where he obtained a Bachelors degree of Social Work. He was born and raised in Swansboro, North Carolina but has spent the last four years in the High Country. He enjoys traveling and hanging with his friends. Christian has a strong passion for immigration issues and has shown his support by co-founding an immigration support club at his college and more recently, working with immigrant job placements. He is excited to continue his passion here with IJC as our new Grant Coordinator. |
