Overview
I recently relocated to Akron and am excited to serve our great community and get connected to the amazing folks leading those efforts. I enjoy staying busy and being on working boards and committees, in the efforts of making real contributions. My areas of interest are victim services/advocacy, substance use, animal rights/welfare, adult education and supporting non-profits doing work that supports these efforts.
Biography
I currently work as a grant manager for AMHA, managing a team who provides educational and employment opportunities to residents of Summit Lake. I also work part time at Hope and Healing Survivor Resource Center as a crisis intervention specialist, and spent almost 9 years as the program director of a transitional domestic violence shelter, with advocacy and activism being a strong passion of mine. I am a Registered Advocate in Senior Standing in the state of Ohio and hold an active Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant (CDCA) licensure.
