My name is Solange Duran, I am 28 years old. I was born in Peru, raised in Italy and came to the United States when I was 12 and have been residing in Rockville, MD since then. I studied Psychology at the University of Maryland Baltimore County where I graduated with my bachelor's degree in 2016. I have been working with Community of Hope for 2.5 years as a Youth Specialist. I have experience working with at-risk youth, as well as kids with special needs. I've always had a passion for working with children and youth and I strive to work somewhere where the focus is on youth and children with the highest level of needs to provide the adequate support for them.
