I have created and currently work at two entities: The Options Network (non-profit) and Our House Treasures. The Options Network allows me to continue to aid individuals in need of assistance in strengthening employment and other basic life skills. As President of Our House Treasures, I utilize my editing and publishing skills to "give new life to old books" via state-of-the-art digital archival sources.I continue to be an advocate for homeless and at-risk children and their families and worked for many years with Metropolitan Ministries. With a BAS Degree in Management and Organizational Leadership, I have worked in the nonprofit community in Pasco County for over 20 years. As past director of a local mission, I developed a strong sense of devotion for the nonprofit sector and the focus on how to help improve the quality of life for at risk families. The mission merged with Metropolitan Ministries, where I became Associate Director of Outreach and then Director of Pasco Program Operations. I helped pave the way for the opening of the County’s first supportive transitional shelter program for families, located on the Pasco campus.
