Housing Coordinator

I was born in Philadelphia, PA. but raised in Indianapolis, IN. for most of my life. As an adult I have worked in Law Enforcement and Education. My passion for law enforcement is the reason I got my degree in Criminal Justices and Education and sports lead me to coaching high school basketball as well as coaching little league sports, for many years. I enjoy volunteering for my church, Township schools, and other organizations around my city. I love couponing for my pantry at home that I make available to people I know or that friends send my way. I also coupon for items that are not available at most pantries in the community.                                              

 My husband Raymand and I raised 6 children. In my spare time I enjoy traveling with my family, having family cookouts, and coaching our children and now my grandchildren in their little league sports. My passion for service and my personal life experiences throughout my family resonates with the opportunity to work for this organization. I am looking forward to growth and opportunities in the future.
