Senior Accounting Manager - Stamps.com

Early childhood care and education are vital to the success of any community. Without access to these services, children and families are exposed to a lifetime of potential disadvantage. I am inspired by the unique blend of services Connections For Children provides to the west side and surrounding areas. CFC leverages its staff’s expertise and community ties to offer invaluable support to children, families and childcare providers. I work with the Board Nominating and Recruitment Committee and the Fund Development Committee. Exposure to these dedicated and talented teams has furthered my esteem for CFC and its supporters.

Founder, President- Quantum Health

It’s an honor to serve on the Board of this effective, caring and established 40+ year old organization. Connections’ mission resonates deeply for me as a parent and community member. CFC is a leader in early childhood care and education, improving the lives of thousands of families every year while giving children skills that help them become better and more engaged learners. Being on the Board and Executive Committee has allowed me to use my business and creative expertise to help the organization fulfill and scale it’s ever expanding mission.

Immediate Past President
Community Relations Advisor - RAND Corporation

I want to be a part of the CFC team because CFC promotes high-quality, accessible, innovative programs and services for children 0-5 years of age and their families. Research has consistently documented that early education interventions yield benefits for emotional and cognitive development, educational achievement, future employability, and health throughout one's lifetime. Early childhood programs help individual children and families, but they are also a smart investment in the economic vitality, health and prosperity, and well being of our nation.

Former Chief Scientist - AOL

Connections for Children¹s mission to empower families through quality child care resources, education, and guidance aligns perfectly with my own passions to help improve the lives of children in our community and to ensure that children benefit from access to early education programs. I am pleased to offer my expertise to help the dedicated staff and board of CFC pursue their vision.

Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

As someone raised by working parents, and raising their own family where there are two working parents, I have experienced first hand the impact that early education and quality child care can have. Connections for Children is a leader in early childhood issues, and an organization that I am proud to be active with. Connections enables me to use my professional and personal skills to give back, and impact the lives of the youngest members of our community for the better.
