What do you do as the Executive Director?
As Executive Director I oversee and provide support for all areas of our Long-Term Homeless Housing program. I strive to ensure quality of service and create meaningful experiences for the women who live in our homes. I also connect with community members and providers to enhance the lives of our participants.
What inspired you to do the work that you do?
There is a saying, "Be who you needed when you were younger." I want to be that for the ladies in Grace Place. I want to be who I needed when I was in their shoes.
