How does your background impact your work at Bethany House?

My legal training certainly enables me to provide information and insight on legal issues. My past experiences working with victims of domestic violence give me an understanding of the obstacles that survivors face and the frustrations that often come from our legal system. I can say with certainty that programs like Bethany House make a huge difference.

What is a 2024 goal you are most excited to work on?

I am excited for Bethany House’s 40th Anniversary Celebration. It is a great opportunity to elevate the profile of Bethany House and ensure that everyone in Northwest Ohio knows how terrific Bethany House is!

What is the biggest challenge facing those we serve in 2024?

I am very concerned about the housing market. There is a lack of affordable housing in the Toledo area, and the problem is getting worse. Survivors of domestic violence and their families, who are usually in vulnerable financial positions, have to compete with many others for the limited number of affordable rental houses and apartments.
