Why I started with Arms Wide:

As someone who has grown up in foster care and was adopted into a safer home environment as a young child, I have been dedicated to supporting the betterment of youth since 2012, especially those in low-income and underdeveloped environments. I love the mission of Arms Wide and the direction we are moving in the child-welfare arena.

My favorite part about my job:

Being part of a team that supports each area of the organization to ensure the safety of children in the child welfare system as best as we can.

My least favorite part:

Not being able to help every situation that involves children/teenagers having a need for a loving and stable home.
