Tonya Gonzalez
Education Outreach Manager

Why are you passionate about empowering young people to be safer drivers and passengers?

I truly believe that the next generation of drivers can be the ones who change the culture of driving to one that is distraction-free and help us put an end to the number one cause of unintentional serious injury and death for young people – car crashes.

What draws you to the Impact Teen Drivers Mission?

It is an honor and a privilege to work for an organization that is truly dedicated to making a real difference in the world by sharing evidence-based educational resources and strategies to save lives.

Why do you enjoy being part of Impact Teen Drivers?

With Impact Teen Drivers, I have had the opportunity to grow my skills as an advocate and as a professional. Sharing the stories of Affected Family Members, those who have lost someone as a result of reckless and distracted driving, in a way that helps others learn and change their own attitudes and behaviors on our roadways feels truly impactful.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

In my spare time I like to spend quality time with family and friends, travel to new places, and go on long runs.

What three adjectives would you use to describe yourself?

Empathetic, passionate, and adaptable.
