Meet The Leaders
Why I serve a leadership role with Chicktime:
I have always had a calling in working with youth. As a special educator and then working in the university setting mentoring future teachers, Chicktime is the perfect fit! I found Chicktime on Volunteer Match website. As the leadership team was transitioning during that time, I was eager to jump aboard. It’s taken a few months to find a strong leadership team, but I’m excited to see what we can do together to serve the young women at Safe Landing.
My hobbies and interests:
My husband, Larry and I were high school sweethearts and have been married for 41 years. We have three adult sons and five grandchildren. As my grandkids live in Texas and Missouri, we spend a lot of our time traveling to visit (and babysit)! I enjoy traveling, hiking and reading. I love CrossFit, puzzles and games, and crafting. I have a 4 year old Retriever/Border Collie puppy that keeps me on my toes!
Why I serve a leadership role with Chicktime:
During my working life I had many “care-giving” type jobs, and one thing I learned is “You can’t give what you don’t have”. Helping others “have” what they need to live fulfilling, productive, loving lives is important to me.
My Passions and Gifts:
I am a teacher at heart! I like to work with others who want to make a difference in the world around us.
My hobbies and interests:
I love time spent with my husband and our extended family. My hobbies include fiber arts (spinning my own yarn and knitting), sewing, baking, gardening and occasional camping trips. Missy, Tasha and Sam, our three Corgis, play a large part of my everyday life.
Why I serve a leadership role with Chicktime:
I enjoy working with others. I’ve spent my life (since being a young adult) helping others and working to help them see their full potential. Every career job that I’ve had has always been about helping a person learn more about themselves and showing them that they could do different, be different and want different.
My hobbies and interests:
I love to travel, cook, read, meditate, look at fashion, do interior design, and watch sports. My favorite sports are basketball, football and boxing.
