I am passionate about finding ways to share the skills I have from my daily work as a planner, educator and problem-solver, to enhance the lives of those in need. To serve at CARES of NY allows me to radiate out to so many front-line agencies and assist in eliminating homelessness from our region and beyond. My personal goal is to provide whatever support is needed to facilitate the CARES team achieving its mission.

The goal in joining any board in my experience is to find an organization that is passionate about its purpose or community in which they serve and can also help you grow personally and professionally. I was asked to join the board by an existing board member and was blown away after meeting with the Nancy about not only her passion for the organization, but her excitement in learning and growing with me. I hope to bring my experience as a finance professional to help guide Cares in the right direction now and into the future growth of the organization.

I had heard great things about CARES and had met with Nancy to talk about the CARES mission and cause. I was thoroughly impressed with Nancy and all the various ways CARES supports it’s tenants and community’s. I had delt with some homelessness issues with my Uncle so this all hit home for me. I enjoy serving on the board, such a great group of people with a propose to help others.

The incredible work CARES does aligns perfectly with the goals and mission of my organization. We serve many of the same clients and the opportunity to collaborate with key community stakeholders only benefits those we serve.
