STAFF
Executive Director & Founder. I was a foster parent for 16 years with 40 children in foster care living in our home throughout that time. I'm the mother of 7 forever kids (3 biological, 3 adopted, 1 in process of adoption). Clara is my daughter and the catalyst for this organization. I have a passion to see the entire family learn to heal and work toward wholeness.
Program Coordinator. With 20 years experience as a social worker, I have worked alongside children, teens, and parents in family preservation, licensing, foster care, adoption and adolescent residential treatment. Over and over again I've seen the importance of support and community in the ongoing success of a family. I'm honored to be part of Clara's Hope and walk with many families and individuals as they discover their part in caring for today's orphan. As a licensed foster parent myself, I have a deep understanding of the support needed by families.
Operations Manager. I come from an accounting background, and I am so glad I get to use those skills at Clara’s Hope. I love connecting with our volunteers, because they play such an important role within our organization. I also am in the process of getting licensed for foster care. Clara’s Hope has helped direct me through the process and answer any questions that I had, and I am so blessed to now be a part of this team!
