2. Why do you have a passion for this work?

3. What is your most treasured possession?

My family and my grandkids! I have four grandkids that I adore, three boys and one girl.

Loving this PC (Program Coordinator) life. I love when my coworkers have the same love as I do for this job.

5. What do you most value about the Dungarvin team with whom you work?

Portland Oregon Supported Living Team is the best team I’ve worked with. We are like a well-oiled machine, working together to help people live their best lives! If ever there is any trouble we divide and conquer to find a solution that works!
