I have had the privilege of working at DHS Child Welfare as a Permanency caseworker since August 2013. Prior to becoming a caseworker, I was a Foster Parent for 7 years and through that process my husband and I adopted two of our four children. I've been where you are!
I am excited to be in this position and part of this team because I believe we need to put just as much work into retaining or developing our certified families as we do to recruit them. Retention and recruitment will more naturally occur whenever people feel involved, respected, appreciated, and valued as members of a team of professionals working together to create permanence for children. When people have these kind of experiences they will naturally encourage others to come alongside and be involved as well. It has been an honor to be mentored by Érma Brundidge, the previous trainer. I look forward to carrying on her legacy of supporting, developing, and equipping our families with the information and tools they need to successfully care for our children that come from hard places. As the Foster Parent Trainer for District 3, it is a privilege to walk alongside our families to help them build on their capacity to serve from a place that promotes self-care, self-compassion and encourages an empathetic awareness and response for the children and families they encounter. Empowering our families to keep showing up for children and their families is not merely a job, it is my heart and passion! Please contact me with any questions. I look forward to working with you -

I started my career at ODHS child welfare in August of 2004, just three months after graduating from College, so I guess you can say I have spent most of my adult life working at ODHS child welfare. ( I would not have it any other way) I started working on the Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties Child Abuse Hotline and ended up staying there for 15 years. While working on the hotline I discovered I loved being able to help people understand polices, procedures, and helping them navigate the world of Child Welfare.
I am the newest member of the training team, and part duties include calling foster parents soon after placement to make sure they are getting everything they need to make the placement successful, and I am in charge of donations for the Marion branch. I really want to empower resource families to understand and care for children from hard places and be that safe place for children to land, even if it is only for a short time. Feel free to reach out to me any time, I want you to know as a resource family, you are valuable and very much appreciated.
