Sandra M. Jones Mitchell is a professional advocate for senior citizens. In 1975, Sandra’s first job was preparing hot meals for seniors citizens at Washington Park Elementary School.   In 1976-1977, Sandra worked at Cincinnati Veteran’s Administration Hospital assisting the elderly by escorting them to their doctors’ appointments within hospital.  In 1986, she worked in an Avondale Nursing Home as an Activity Coordinator. In 1988 Sandra began her career with Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services, where she continued assisting individuals with developmental disabilities, by helping them stay connected to the community.

 

The love and passion for older adults had a major impact on Sandra attending The College of Mount Saint Joseph to earn a Bachelor Degree in Gerontology in 2003.  She will be continuing her education in 2019 towards her Master’s Degree in Gerontology from Miami University.   “It is our duty to honor the wisdom of our elders, respect their life experiences and treat them as community gems”.  Sandra joined the Avondale Community Council at age 17, serving as a Trustee for 15 non-consecutive years and currently serves on the Board of Trustees.  Sandra has also served on numerous other boards and community volunteer opportunities along with being an active member of the Corinthian Baptist Church since 2000.  Sandra has been recognized for numerous awards for her advocacy services throughout the community.
