I am pleased to introduce myself as Kemmerer Village’s Executive Director. During my twenty-eight-year history with Kemmerer Village, I have always been very proud to be part of such a dedicated agency.

I moved to Assumption, IL in 1993 from St. Louis to work as a Clinical Supervisor in one of the Residential Treatment Cottages. As you can imagine, this was quite a culture shock, but a welcome change. I completed my Master of Social Work with Washington University in 1992. In St. Louis, I had worked as a therapist with the Salvation Army’s young children’s residential program and as a resource coordinator with St. Louis Crisis Nursery. Because I wanted to be closer to family in central Illinois, I was eager to move and begin work at Kemmerer Village. My various positions with Kemmerer Village (Clinical Supervisor, Director of Quality Assurance, Director of Clinical Services, Assistant Executive Director) have deepened my devotion to our agency goals.  

I am honored to serve Kemmerer Village’s Mission working in collaboration with our dedicated Board of Directors, our staff, our community partners, and our families.
