Why did you choose to serve Whole Latte Love Cafe?

I chose to serve the Cafe because I believe it is important to serve my community as a volunteer in any manner possible. I also chose to serve because my son is a potential client/participant for the Cafe; I am passionate about finding opportunities for my son and others with disabilities to participate in our community in a meaningful way.

What do you bring to the table?

I have 40 years of experience in non-profit organizations and public health both as a volunteer and paid staff. I have a bachelor’s degree and Autism Spectrum Disorders graduate certificate from Kent State University, and a master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse. I am a graduate of Leadership Stark County.
