Reba Rice Highlight
[People’s] inability to see my potential should not limit my potential.
About Reba
- I majored in English in college—my interest in storytelling paired with my passion for social justice have been the main drivers in my career.
- After graduating, I went to graduate school and earned my master’s degree in American literature.
- I started my career running a shelter for homeless women with children—I loved the job but was working for free, which wasn’t sustainable long-term.
- I eventually moved on and built my career through a wide variety of roles, including working for a computer software training company, a crisis pregnancy center, and a law office.
- I joined NorthLakes Community Clinic as the sixth employee when we only had one clinic.
- I’ve now been with the organization for about 15 years and have helped it grow to 16 clinics and 400 employees.
