My favorite thing about DCD is the the way the community always comes together to support its members, whether it’s a class play, a sports game, or a special assembly, or just everyday moments of kindness in the hallway.

I started out working with the Women, Infants, & Children (WIC) program as a nutritionist and later moved to a role at the Department of Public Health as the immunization coordinator for WIC. The wellbeing of kids has always been a passion of mine. Now in my role as a substitute teacher, I’m enjoying having an impact on kids in a different and more direct way. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, drawing, painting, and other creative crafts, especially with my girls.
