I invite you to join me in being a YES to giving your time to show kids that they are precious, to show our overworked, short-staffed ODHS workers that we appreciate their efforts, to show Resource Families and Birth Families that they have outside support. That many hands truly do make light work!

My dreams for the youth in the foster care system is for them to find themselves and become apart of their version of a family. Family can mean many different things! I want them to love themselves for who they are. Self love is more important than you’ll ever know!

I love all the families I have had the privilege to work with. Some days are harder than others, but the rewards are worth it. I also have an energetic and supportive group of coworkers.
