  1. Executive Director

    The Centers

    Jul 2024 — Present

    As Executive Director at The Centers’ Cleveland Christian Home (CCH), I spearhead strategic initiatives, drive program development, and cultivate community partnerships to empower vulnerable children and families. I am thrilled to announce our partnership with Cuyahoga County to establish a Child Wellness Campus. This groundbreaking facility aims to expedite reunification and kinship diversion for children in county custody. It will provide a safe, nurturing environment where youth awaiting placement can receive assessment and treatment. Our vision is to create a centralized hub where County Children and Family Services (DCFS) staff and child-serving nonprofits collaborate seamlessly to ensure children are placed in the best possible homes swiftly and efficiently.
