Meet the Team!

Q: What drives you in your work with Family Resource Center?

A: Raising children is one of the most important things a person can do, and yet there’s a perception that we should just know what to do naturally—that’s just not the case. Parenting is learned and the skills needed can change quickly. Really, who doesn’t need a cheer leader and someone to help them through the rough patches in life? We get to work hand in hand with parents and do heart centered work here at FRC—what better way to create a more compassionate kind world than to support parents and families.

Q: What drives you in your work with Family Resource Center? 

A: Since I was a child I had always wondered how parenting worked, “Why were my parents so strict, why did they not seem to understand us?” so I knew I wanted to work in the field where I could either help out those children that were struggling at home, or those parents struggling to parent. I now know I have landed in a place where I can help both. Understanding the everyday struggles of being a parent and a child isn’t easy, but there are so many approaches we can share with you to make that journey much more enjoyable. I love to hear when parents say “Oh my! I wish I knew this when my older kids were younger!”

Q: What drives you in your work with Family Resource Center?

A: ❤️ I love the work I do here at Family Resource Center because I continuously learn new parenting tips that I can share with other parents.

Q: What drives you in your work with Family Resource Center?

A: I love that I am able to serve as a connector. Parents who come to parenting class find a sense of community. Parents who attend our Zoom Parent to Parent Group find support and realize that parenting is a universal experience, regardless of individual circumstances. The clients that I provide coaching for often feel heard and supported for the first time as a parent. I feel so fortunate to be able to do this incredibly important work.

A: I want to help bring awareness and drive support so that our passionate and supportive team can continue their positive impact and service to our families, friends, neighbors, and communities throughout Central Oregon.
