    “Traveling has given me the unique opportunity to learn culture and perspective outside of my own. Raising 8 children teaches me the beauty and joy as well as the sorrows and struggles of family life. I have always believed that families are the most important building block of society, a sacred institution. When we support mothers and fathers, we build better communities. I am excited to work at Life and Family Services, learning and growing with the families of Noble County.”
