Meet our new Community Connectors!

Phuong and Christian joined the CALC team in January and will be working closely on active living work in Montbello and Southwest Denver neighborhoods: 

Phuong Tran is the new Community Connector Coordinator for the Southwest region of Denver. She is truly passionate about empowering Denver’s communities to live better and longer. She completed a Master’s degree in Public Health from the University of New England. Through her academic career, she was given the opportunity to travel to Quito, Ecuador to help develop interventions on the basis of alcohol misuse and teenage pregnancy.

As a community connector, Phuong is hoping to bridge a disconnect between access to resources and the people in the Southwest communities. Besides her passion for community health and active living, she enjoys spending time hiking and venturing throughout the beautiful outdoors of Colorado. Phuong was granted many opportunities through her community in Southwest Denver, which has nurtured her passion for public health and for this reason she is excited to give back.
 

Christian Alexander Steward is the Community Connector for Montbello. A Denver native, Christian attended Denver Public Schools, and eventually received a Bachelors of Science in biology from the University of Colorado-Denver. He has experienced most of his professional life through the lenses of community advocacy, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Some of these accomplishments include Americorps member, mentor, certified personal trainer, certified professional inspector, the Dr. king Jr 2018 Marade Commander.

Although Christian has these achievements it is not what he does that defines him, but why he does it. Christian is dedicated to building intentional relationships and promoting the idea of adversity being a catalyst of empowerment. He graduated from the Urban Leadership Foundation of Colorado where the mission is to continuously improve the professional and social trajectory of minority leaders through effective leadership development.

Some of his favorite quotes include:
"Trust, but verify." Ronald Reagan
"An active person is an attractive person." Unknown
"Be kind to your neighbor, but do not limit your kindness to your neighborhood." CAS
