What draws you to work with families: I enjoy supporting families who are in need or who have faced barriers in life. Sometimes it’s that one person that a parent can turn to for a listening ear or guidance on where to go or turn, I want to be that person for the families at Wilder CDC. My passion is to help bridge the gap with resources for self-sufficiency and the quality of life.
