Meet our March Advocate of the Month, Maylin Lee! 💛

Maylin is a UNLV graduate who earned her Bachelor’s in Psychology in May 2025. Since becoming a Care Advocate in July, she has been passionate about supporting and empowering those impacted by power-based violence. She hopes to become a school psychologist and help students reach their full potential. 🌱

💬 “I wanted to be an empathetic ear for those who feel like no one is listening and a reminder that support is always out there.”

🌟“Maylin is a true force to be reckoned with here in the Care Center. She hit the ground running and has been the model of professionalism, attention to detail, organization, and empathy since the beginning. The entire team at the Care Center expresses their joy in knowing Maylin and gratitude for her work as an advocate this year!” - April Weeks (Care Advocate Coordinator)
