Before joining FRN, I served as grant-maker, program director, and senior consultant for organizations such as the Kellogg Foundation and the Global Fund for Women. Our FRN navigators were a light in the dark when my son got sick. I love playing board games with my son.
I have been working with families of children with disabilities for over 20 years. I am the mother to a son with complex healthcare needs. My story is the story of the families we support at FRN. When families connect with FRN, they are supported by experienced and knowledgeable staff who have navigated the same paths. I am an avid NBA basketball fan.
I think it is so important for parents to get the information and tools that they need to become great advocates for their kids. I originally connected with FRN to do that for my family, and now I am proud to share it with others.
Nice to meet you!
I love FRN because it is a community of people who are passionate about families and fierce warriors in advocating for children with disabilities. No place else like it.
Nice to meet you!
