What motivates you to volunteer your time and talents with LOHF?
The wide-ranging support that LOHF provides to the community is an easy source of motivation to volunteer. My parents and brother are educators and my sister is a nurse so the importance of mental and behavioral health, especially in children, is something that I have been keenly aware of for a long time.
How have your personal and/or professional experiences informed your volunteer service to LOHF?
My personal experiences led me to be interested in board service with LOHF and my professional experiences allow me to perform the duties of Treasurer for the board and provide insight for various board decisions.
What has been the most impactful or memorable result of LOHF’s work that you have seen during your involvement with LOHF?
I am a huge supporter of our nursing scholarship program since there is a nurse in the family. Also, it has been great to see the growth of the Mental Health Copay Assistance program, since LOHF became involved in the program. It seems to have been especially important during the past year.
What is the most encouraging thing you see on the horizon to improve mental well-being for youth and children in Lancaster County?
The most encouraging thing I see is the increased awareness and openness around the discussion of mental health, both in Lancaster County and beyond. I think that will lead to a reduced stigma surrounding the topic by encouraging more people, especially children, to reach out for the support they need.
Is there something that would be surprising or fun to know about you?
I was the captain of back-to-back championship teams in college for intramural water basketball and have won two Lancaster Rec kickball titles.
