From Our Board President

I’m honored to step into the role of Board President for Child and Family Services, an organization that plays such a vital role in supporting children and families in our community. With over 15 years of experience in finance, business valuation, and strategic advisory, I’ve dedicated my career to helping businesses and individuals navigate critical transitions. My passion for this work extends beyond my professional life—through CFS, I have been blessed with two incredible sisters, and it has been a privilege to watch them grow into strong, capable young women as they embark on adulthood. Their journey inspires me every day and reinforces my commitment to ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.


As we celebrate Women's History Month, I am especially moved by the strength and resilience of the women who have shaped this organization, our community, and my own life. It is a privilege to continue that legacy, using my experience in leadership, finance, and strategic planning to support CFS’s mission. I look forward to working alongside a dedicated team to ensure every child and family we serve receives the care and support they deserve.
