I am very proud to have been invited in 2021 to join Team Up With Families/Katy’s Kloset as their first Executive Director.  I am a physical therapist and throughout my career, I have often referred my patients to Katy’s Kloset, and have seen firsthand how vitally important access to necessary medical equipment and supplies is. My first year at the Team Up Camp was a magical experience, and I loved seeing families with children with different physical abilities having a fun camp experience together!

I have a background in health services management, and bring that knowledge and experience, combined with my physical therapy training to lead the organization.  I am inspired every day by the talent and dedication of the group of volunteers supporting our mission, and the difference we make in the lives of so many people.

When I am not working for Team Up With Families, I can be found in my studio creating pieces of resin art, or playing my French horn in a number of community bands.

I joined Team Up With Families/Katy’s Kloset in 2024. I am so proud of our organization, volunteers and am in awe every week of those that donate and support our mission. The stories we hear and the tears we share during phone calls and order pickups on Saturday inspire me to do more. Our volunteers are the best and their selflessness is contagious.

I have a background in business management (emphasis on marketing and development), early education and computer science. I have a passion for inventory management, education, marketing, outreach, and development.

If you see me on Saturdays assisting customers – know I am doing something I love – helping people in need! When I am not at the warehouse, I love spending time with my family and Great Danes, Doberman, and other small animals. I enjoy biking, hiking, and camping.
