iole in many ways, anu she ueseives much iecognition foi this. Lucia's stiength is hei cieativity with
eveiy effoit she unueitakes, as well as hei genuine enthusiasm foi hei passions.

Lucia was a Zumba instiuctoi at the TAN0C Rec Centei, while also an RA at Piiue Rock. This lent itself
well to piogiamming effoits- she often mixeu the two passions while woiking at Piiue Rock, putting on
piogiams anu encouiaging hei iesiuents to come out to hei Zumba classes. It makes hei enulessly happy
to see hei iesiuents at hei Zumba classes- anu she went out of hei way to pioviue oppoitunities foi
