It is my belief that we all play an integral role in lifting and helping others. I chose to join the Mosaic board to support the mission that everyone “is seen.” I have a passion for wellness and that begins with mental well being . As the name suggests, Mosaic represents the rebuilding and renewal of a life and I want to be a piece of the design. 

As the former superintendent of Holland Public Schools, I was eager to bring Mosaic Counseling and its School Outreach and Employee Assistance Program to the children, families, and staff of our district. I was able to witness first-hand the life-changing impact that affordable, accessible, and time-relevant mental health care can provide to someone in need. Serving now on the Board of Directors, it is my hope to enrich and expand these services to even more individuals in need in the greater Ottawa County community. 

I have worked in criminal justice system for over 20 years with a passion for helping clients break the chaotic cycle they find themselves in.  One of the ways of breaking the cycle is by exposing the client to good, affordable treatment.  Mosaic aligns with that vision by “offering hope and healing for all”.  I am very excited to work alongside so many passionate individuals who are working towards this common goal.
