Dear Mountain Times,
My name is Patricia Gomes and I live in Sandy. Recently my granddaughter, Joslynn, who has lived in Sandy until she finished graduate school, has received the Carla Overbeck Leadership Award for 2023. She has also received the Adapt and Thrive Disability Award for her work with the disabled. Joslynn graduated from La Salle High School, Concordia University, and Portland State, where she received her Master’s in Special Education and a certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis and Autism Spectrum Disorder. She is an outstanding young woman and a credit to our community.
