We are happy to welcome new Intern Nicole Pena to the Passaic County CASA team! She is a senior at William Paterson University, double majoring in Psychology and Criminology & Criminal Justice. Nicole will be assisting us with many different responsibilities, but she will be focusing a great deal of her time on our Neighborhood Assistance Program.

After graduation, Nicole hopes to work in the criminal justice system, or any other opportunity that might allow her to speak up for individuals in need.

Nicole is bilingual and grew up in New Jersey. In her free time, Nicole is a dancer, especially ballet, and frequently travels to New York to take lessons and to perform. She is also the mother of a two year old girl and enjoys spending time with her.
