Hi! I am a graduate of Ferrum College, having received a BS degree majoring in Childhood Development with a double minor in Psychology/Leisure Services and an AA degree in Psychology. I am a mother of four and a grandmother of one. After holding several jobs in the blue collar world while working on my BS, I started out my professional career working for Piedmont Community Services as an Infant Specialist, working with developmentally delayed newborns up to 2 years of age. After 3 years of going into homes and working with families, I saw a great deal of women who were in need of resources to find their way out of domestic violence situations, be it physical, mental, emotional or even financial abuse. It became very frustrating for me to just refer these families to services, but not be able to work with them through the process of finding a healthier lifestyle. It was time I became an Advocate for victims, and the person of voice for those who couldn’t find one. Now here I am still loving every minute of my job, my labor of love, my passion for life being passed onto others so they may see they are special and are worthy of being loved and treated with respect!

Office:
(540) 483-5088 ext. 2407
I started my tenure here by volunteering to assist in the office, only later to be offered the part-time position of Secretary. I worked as the Secretary for about 2 years when my position went full-time. I held the position for a total of 7 years. At that point a position came open; I applied and was hired as the new Case Manager! Since that time, I have enjoyed working with the clients that I encounter at the shelter and in the community. It is my hope each time I come in contact with someone in need that they will see my compassion to help and to empower them. It is also my hope to make the community at large aware of the impact of domestic violence and homelessness in Franklin County.

Position: Case Manager
Years of Service: 3

Office: (540) 483-5088 ext. 2408
I began volunteering at the center in 1997 and became a Night Shelter Manager in 2005. I remained in this position for 2 years, until the opportunity presented itself for me to apply and successfully obtain a position of Case Manager, which I have held for the past year. I have a purpose and a passion for being here - helping people. Once being a victim of domestic violence, I can now say that through strength, courage and wisdom, I am now a VICTOR. I facilitate a weekly women's support group meeting on Mondays at 6:00pm. There is power in loving and respecting yourself.
