Personnel Coordinator/Office Manager
My family tree has grown in many directions surrounding adoption and enjoying a loving family. I was adopted at birth, domestically, raised in a loving family with my adopted brother. Within my family, an Uncle opened his heart to 4 older step-nephews when their mother's life was unexpectedly cut short, and we all came together for support. A unique joy in life was to have found my birthmother and continue to enjoy years with her and to learn her story of putting a child up for adoption. The twists and turns of life have made me passionate about living to the fullest and whether career, family or friends, to always help others. Understanding the mysteries of family roots being adopted, has been a growing experience for both me and my daughter. I enjoy being creative, play piano and get another chance at being silly in life playing with my grandson. I am excited to be part of the Children's House team with their wonderful longstanding reputation. It is a privilege to be part of the administrative support that assures successful process, as well as be able celebrate in the joys when children find their forever home with a loving family.
