Why am I committed to working for New Horizon Center?

I deeply believe in New Horizons Center’s mission to support individuals of all abilities with dignity, compassion, and respect. With an extensive background in human resources and a heart for service, I’ve always been passionate about creating inclusive, people-centered environments where everyone feels valued and empowered. The organization’s commitment to inclusion, equity, and community resonates deeply with both my professional values and personal experiences. As a parent and lifelong advocate for fairness and belonging, I understand the importance of supporting individuals as whole people — with unique strengths, challenges, and potential. I’m truly honored to contribute to a place that puts people first — not only in its services, but in how it cares for its staff, families, and community at every level.

What are you professionally and personally proud of?

Professionally, I’m proud of the relationships I’ve built throughout my career — ones grounded in trust, empathy, and a shared commitment to creating positive, inclusive workplace environments. Whether it’s supporting a colleague through a challenge, improving systems to reflect equity, or helping teams grow stronger together, I take pride in creating spaces where people feel respected and empowered.

Who are you when you are not working?

When I’m not working, I’m a proud and busy mom who loves spending quality time with my family — whether we’re out exploring, enjoying movie nights at home, or just laughing through the everyday chaos. I also value quiet moments to recharge, whether that’s finding ways to self-inspire, reflect, or spend time outdoors. Family is everything to me, and I’m grateful to share this journey with such incredible people. Together, they remind me of the importance of connection, balance, and finding joy in everyday moments.
