What do you enjoy doing in your free time? I enjoy reading and spending time with my family during my free time.

What might our readers not know about you? I am also a wedding coordinator at my church.  I spent 30 years in the Corporate world before becoming a stay at home Mom.  Being a mom, by far, is my favorite job. 

What do you love most about your job as a fundraising and special events coordinator? What I love best about my job at Praise Academy is helping to improve the school in some small way, while helping others.  Whether it is raising funds by putting together things like the Annual Golf Tournament, PAWS for a Cause or other school wide fundraisers to help a child be able to attend school at Praise Academy, purchase supplies that the school needs, or simply making an aesthetic improvement, I love that I have played a very small part in accomplishing the school's goals.  I also love doing special events for the school, such as coordinating the Homecoming Dance, Movie Night, Daddy- Daughter Dance, school parades to help the school give back to the parents and students with these family events. 

What do you love most about Praise Academy? What I love most about Praise Academy is working with all the wonderful people at Praise Academy.  It is a place where people truly care about one another, students and staff.  It feels like family!
