I joined the Cooperative in April of 2018 and feel extremely grateful to be a member of such a hard-working, child centered team. As the Cooperative’s administrative assistant, I enjoy working behind the scenes to ensure that our office runs smoothly and that our team is fully supported as they work with children throughout the seventeen districts we serve. Before joining the Cooperative, I worked for 7 years as the secretary at Elder Grove School. My experience there helped prepare me to step in to this position.
I have spent the majority of my life working with children both professionally and through various volunteer opportunities. The time our family spent as house parents for the Milton Hershey School in Hershey, Pennsylvania was probably the most rewarding position I have ever held. It taught me that every child has hope for a brighter future when there are caring adults guiding them and encouraging them each step of the way.
My husband and I live in Laurel and we have three adult children and one grandbaby. Our children live in Billings so we get to see them often. I always look forward to our times together having dinner and conversation around the table.
