When I found Arms Wide, it was the perfect opportunity to use my knowledge and skills in a way that gives back to my city and helps children and families thrive.

My favorite part about my job:

Being able to hear people’s stories and help them find their forever family. I get to be a point of positivity and connection for youth.

My least favorite part:

Learning the difficult or painful parts of a child’s story.

More about me:

I’m an avid reader and writer who loves spoken word poetry. My favorite way to spend free time is outdoors, under the sun, or in a cozy coffee shop.
