While working as a consultant for SRC over the past three years, I have had the privilege of working closely with Cathy, the Board, and Staff of SRC. During that time, I have witnessed the incredible outreach, mission, and growth of SRC in our community, those are a few of the many reasons that I am excited and pleased to join the SRC team!
