Cathy Nielsen

Cathy brings extensive knowledge, resourcefulness and commitment to EBI. In the recent past, she worked as a teacher for the Oakland Unified Adult and Career Education Program and at the Children’s Hospital of Oakland Project SEARCH internship training program. Before that, she was a case manager for the Regional Center of the East Bay and a Director of an Integrated Work Program in San Francisco. Cathy also worked as a Transition Specialist for the San Francisco Unified School District and a Career and Technical Education Consultant for the Regional Occupations Program of Alameda Unified School District. Her vast knowledge of the education system and vocational programs for transition-age youth make Cathy a natural fit and much-valued member of EBI’s board. She has been an ongoing, generous supporter of EBI since its inception, and she is proud to serve on the board of EBI in order to augment and bring awareness to what she describes as “the wonderful services that EBI offers.”
