June Staff Recognition
Monthly Highlights of our CASA Community
Every month we recognize a few of our staff members for different achievements and milestones they've reached. This month we highlighted three individuals and invite you to read below to get to know them.
Juan Reyna
Team Manager
How long have you been with CASA?
I have been with CASA for 6 years.
Fun Fact:
I enjoy cooking but most of all I enjoyed the adrenaline rush. I rode some of the most scariest rides including the tallest roller coaster in the USA, Kingda Ka, at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson New Jersey. I have also bungie jump. Due to my adrenaline rush appreciation I got picked for the show Fear Factor but unfortunately it got canceled so I never had the opportunity to participate.
Juan volunteered to come to the office twice to
prepare and mail badges for our new classes. Thank you Juan for taking the initiative and getting these badges to our new volunteers!
Maureen Englund
Team Manager
How long have you been with CASA?
I have been at CASA for about 7 1/2 years.
Fun Fact:
I am a member (1988) of Sea World of Texas Founder’s Club, the year Sea World opened in SA, and saw Garth Brooks in concert there for $5.00!
Maureen has volunteered on multiple occasions to
go to the office and help out with CASA curbside. Thank you Maureen for your help with getting needed items to our CASA kids!
Kathy Vallejo
Executive Assistant
How long have you been with CASA?
I have been with CASA since January 2014. I came in as a temp and was hired permanently in June 2014.
Fun Fact:
One of my hobbies was horseback riding and I used to own a horse.
Kathy has been instrumental in keeping the office up and running despite the impacts of COVID-19! She has done a fantastic job of communicating with our
vendors about CASA’s evolving needs.
Brittany Coppage
CASA Volunteer Advocate, Christina Albert, was appointed to the case. She immediately contacted CPS, then reached out to the grandparents and traveled to visit the children.
