I joined the CAS team in March of 2018 and have helped launch various programs at the agency. I have extensive experience working with children and families in international settings. My passion for adoption began as a young teenager when I was exposed to the vast amount of orphaned children around the world. I believe that every child deserves a forever home with a loving and caring family. I am excited to be alongside families who are beginning the process of welcoming a child into their home. I am involved with several international nonprofit organizations and have also spent time doing mission work overseas.
I am a dedicated and passionate person who is eager to serve families on their adoption journey. My experience in Africa includes living and serving in Uganda as a ministry social worker and traveling the United States for a year with a group of ten Ugandan children and two Ugandan adults with the Ugandan Kids Choir.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time at the beach, exercising, and attending country music concerts. I also love doing crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles as a method of relaxation. I was a cheerleader at East Carolina University and now, you can find me cheering on the Pirates at football and baseball games throughout the year from the stands. I love being the “cheerleader” for our adoptive families through the journey of adoption, as it is such a beautiful one! In March 2023, I adopted my dog, Lulu, who is my greatest blessing thus far! Lulu enjoys spending time at the CAS office as the CAS staff members are her extended family!
