portraitWhat inspired you to join Seeds of Strength, and how did you first hear about our organization?  I’ve known about Seeds of Strength for years and have always admired how it brings women together to make a real difference in our community. When the chance came to get involved, it felt like the right time to jump in and be part of it.

As a new member and Director, what personal interests or strengths do you hope to bring to our giving circle?  I bring a strong financial background and a deep desire to give back to the community I love. I also enjoy connecting with people and making them feel welcome, and I hope to help engage more women in the mission of Seeds of Strength.

What has impressed you most about Seeds of Strength so far, and how does it align with your values?  I’ve been especially impressed by the members who have been part of Seeds of Strength for many years and remain deeply committed to the mission. Their dedication and passion for giving back reflect the values I care about—community, connection, and making a lasting impact close to home.

Looking ahead, what impact or achievements would you like to see Seeds of Strength accomplish this year?  I’d love to see us grow our membership while continuing to support the local nonprofits that make our community such a special place.
