What is it you do for a living? (Parenting, volunteering, CEO of social service organization, etc.)
I am a fundraising trainer.
What organization(s) do you volunteer or work for?
I currently work at the North Carolina Partnership for Children (Smart Start), and I volunteer with several local organizations on the ACEs and Resilience initiative.
What is your interest in PACEs and resilience science?
I am by nature a relationship builder and I find joy in making connections of authenticity. As a trainer and facilitator, I feel I have a duty to create bridges and opportunities for others. One of my proudest moments has been connecting my work with the Wake County Child Prevention Plan (becoming a Connections Matter trainer through Prevent Child Abuse NC), to my community groups. I feel priviledge to engage local partners in the extraordinary work that is being done, and that works provides a roll up to the state level partners as spring boards for both evaluation and innovation. I truly feel that my ties and service to my local community as a resident of Wake County and citizen of Southeast Raleigh have provided me the with the chance to be a liaison between organizations and our children and families.
If you're part of a community-based PACEs initiative, which one?
