My name is Maggie Baglin, and I am a 23-year-old born and raised San Franciscan. I am very proud of my Irish heritage, San Francisco nativism, and Catholic faith, as they formed who I am today.
At 10 years old, I traded in my soft shoes and picked up the highland bagpipes. I am a proud member of the Irish Pipers Band of San Francisco, who taught me to play. I feel a little old, as I am now the one teaching youth lessons and passing it on to the next generation.
This year, I became my parish's Youth Minister and formed a group for young Catholic teenagers. We brought back Sandwiches for the Hungry, where I collect monthly sandwich donations to take to a shelter that feeds those in need.
I work as a Registered Behaviour Therapist, supporting special needs children with their language, communication, and basic living skills. I am also a programme manager, providing supervision to therapists and family adaptive behaviour treatment guidance to parents. I am finishing up my last year of graduate school for my Master's Degree in Special Education.
In my free time, I enjoy running, baking, playing music, and spending time with family and friends.
