Why Start Now

While grieving the sudden passing of my brother in 2022 (due to suicide), I am acutely aware of the universal need that we all have to maintain a sense of well being and belonging. Perhaps you too have experienced loss - whether it be a loved one, job, family unit, etc. We've all experienced isolation surrounding the world-wide Covid-19 pandemic. Seasonal changes and colder days of winter can increase feelings of isolation. Feeling like an "outsider" can be overwhelming. Though our individual experiences may be different, we are united by a deep rooted need to feel connected.

 

I've personally experienced how community involvement and creating a positive support system can lead to a greater overall sense of well being. That is why I have established these three C's (Contributing, Collaborating, and Celebrating) as the core values in support of my mission as Your Community Connector™. My hope is to continue to carve out a path that will help others gain a stronger sense of self-worth and inclusion as part of their local community. 

​
