Board of Directors

As President of the Board at Hand in Hand Support, I’ve had the privilege of being part of this inspiring journey since the beginning. When Rob and Brad asked me to step into this role, I saw it as a meaningful way to make a difference, especially having witnessed the devastating effects of addiction within my own family. It became a personal mission to contribute to the solution. While I work full-time as an account manager at AV Gauge, I devote my free time to supporting Hand in Hand through fundraising efforts, spending quality time with my family and friends, and participating in 100 Women Who Care, which supports various charities in our community. I’m a proud mother of three wonderful sons and a nana, sharing my life with a loving partner and our two dogs. Traveling and helping others are passions close to my heart, and I feel truly honored to witness the life-changing transformations of the men we serve at Hand in Hand Support.
