I have 35 years of experience working in child welfare and adoption. I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Salisbury State University in Maryland and a Master of Social Work from the University of South Carolina. I have worked in a variety of settings including Child Protective Services, Public Health, Area Mental Health, and pediatric oncology.  I completed my graduate school internship in adoption and birth parent services in Rock Hill, SC back in 1989 and it seemed to light an ember that has never burned out!  I have been working in a variety of adoption contract positions ever since.  There really is no greater joy than helping to create new families!  I look forward to being part of your adoption journey.
